Tip 37

Time to go “pro”

Earlier we provided tips on getting to know your house and going around inside and outside to see what needs to be improved. 

Now it’s time to closely inspect your home for hidden defects.  It’s time for a professional inspector.  Get him to examine those details that can make or break a deal. 

One is the electrical wiring.  A fire caused by faulty wiring is serious business.  Instead of enjoying the cash from the sale of your house, your hard-earned equity is going towards paying damages and lawyers’ fees. 

Tip 38

The radon test?

Experts love to mention the radon test.  If you run a radon test in your house, this is a huge plus in the eyes of buyers. 

The longer the radon test, the more accurate are its results.  High radon levels can be fixed.  Always do retests, and provide results to your buyers.

Tip 39

This isn’t a multiple choice test

See to it that the professional inspector or home inspection company you hired provides you with a well written report.

The fill-in-the-blank forms and check boxes type of report may be accurate, but a written, detailed analysis looks better to buyers.  It demonstrates to them that you’ve done your sacred duty as seller.
