Preparing for a Home Inspection

Sellers can use these guidelines to ensure their home is ready for its close up. They will also help the inspection process go more smoothly.

• Provide keys to any locked areas and ensure that the basement/crawl space, garage, attic and yard are easily accessible.
• Repair leaky faucets and fixtures, and repair or replace grout around tubs and showers.
• Recaulk around exterior door and windows
• Test the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and replace the units if necessary.
• Move items from around the water heater, furnace, central AC units and electrical panel to allow clear access.
• Store medications and valuables securely and out of sight.
• Ask your agent how long the inspection is expected to take and plan to be away from the home for the duration.
• Take pets with you or crate them for safety.
