How to Prepare for a Home Inspection

jmorelli — Tue, 14 May 2013 15:23:25 +0000

While the Austin housing market still is red hot with multiple offers common on the best listing buyers are still doing their due diligence. This mean not only looking at value and cosmetic items but also electing to have a professional inspection done. Inspectors in the state of Texas are licensed by the same Real Estate Commission as agents, broker and appraised commonly referred to as TREC. They are required to inspect and report on almost every item in a home as describe by TREC in their standards of practice. So what can sellers do to prepare for a smooth home inspection which will ultimately lead to a smooth and successful closing? First off I always recommend the following.

1.) Replace all a/c filtesr regardless of when last changed

2) Unsure that there are no burnt out light bulbs

3.) Make sure attic access is not blocked, as well as access to any mechanical systems

4.) Crate or remove pets

One of the most important of course is to disclose any prior conditions accurately on the Sellers Disclosure form. I also recommend that the seller not be home at the time so the inspector can go about the duties with out being inconvenience. If you have any more questions feel free to call or email me today.
