Many sellers now choose to order a home inspection when they decide to list their home. Click here to read some of the benefits.

How to prepare your home for the inspection
Home inspectors are not required or advised to move personal items that are blocking access to areas that need to be inspected. This may result in an incomplete inspection, call backs, additional fees and a frustrated buyer. It is to your best advantage to provide easy access to the following areas:
• Attic access door. This may be in a closet, hallway or garage.
• Under room crawlspace access doors, including stored items in the space.
• Water meter and main water line.
• Hot water heater and surrounding area.
• Furnace and surrounding area.
• Air conditioning units and surrounding area.
• Main electrical panel.
• Electrical sub panels.
• Remove decorative items from doors and windows.
• Kitchen counter tops and appliances (remove items from the ovens and dish washer).
• Foundation walls, especially the corners of the basement.
• Garage overhead and service doors.
Provide a safe place for pets. This may mean taking them to a friend or relative.

After the Inspection:
Check temperature settings on thermostats to be sure that they are where you want them.
