Home Inspections for Sellers: How to Prepare

Infographic on preparing for home inspections, inspection checklist items, and home improvement return-on-investment figures.

Some Highlights

  • If you’re thinking about selling your house, it’s important to know what a home inspection is and what inspectors look for.
  • As supply grows and buyers regain negotiation power, you may find you want to do some select repairs with a good return on investment before listing to get ahead of things a buyer may ask you to fix.
  • To decide what’s worth tackling, you need expert advice. Reach out to a local real estate agent to determine what to prioritize.
