If you want to address some of the obvious problems before you get your own home inspection, here is a list of 9 areas you should definitely look at.
Your home needs to have a stable and well maintained foundation.
Moisture in your home can mean a lot of problems
Take care of any electrical issues in your home
HVAC. Your Heating and Air Conditioning should be in great shape
Plumbing issues
Even the idea of mold in the house can kill the deal
The Roof
Water Drainage
General upkeep
And there you have it. This is a great list to start with, but it’s still smart to get a pre-listing inspection to get a handle on things you might have missed.
Also, you will want to disclose any repairs you did make on the property before the listing. Provide the buyer with information on when the repairs were made, who did them, and how much they cost. This will go a long way to reassuring the buyer and it will also give them a place to start concerning warranties and future repairs.
