If you’re about to host your first open house as a seller, there are certain things you’ll want to do in order to prepare. Typically, the Realtor does the bulk of the work, but you as a seller also have some work to do. For example, make sure the whole home has been cleaned, and put away all your laundry, personal items, etc., so that buyers can see all areas of the property without the distraction of clutter.

The home inspection is an important part of the home sale process. If you’re a buyer, what happens after the inspection is done? If no issues are found, you can move on with the purchase. However, in most cases, issues will be found within the home, and you have a few options on how to proceed.

Some sellers think they don’t need a pre-listing inspection because the buyer will do their own. Why waste the money? Well, having your own inspection done before listing your home comes with multiple benefits to you. First, without a pre-inspection, when the buyer has their inspector come out, you’ll be waiting around for what surprises your house has in store.
