Home inspections are vital whether you are selling or buying a home. If you are buying property, the assessor will discover any problems with the home, and he will do the same if you are selling your Oklahoma real estate. The difference will be that you, as a seller, will have to fix whatever is broken. If you neglect to do so, the buyer will ask you to reduce the sales price. When you hire a home inspector, make the necessary preparations. The inspection will go much smoother, and the results will be a lot more pleasing. Consider these steps: 1. Repairs – Take care of all the repairs you have been putting off. Hiding them will be useless as a professional inspector is familiar with all kinds of Oklahoma real estate and knows exactly where to look. 2. Maintain the outside environment – Home inspections include your outdoors. The sprinkler system should be working, water features should be clean and presentable, etc. Take out weeds and put the kid’s bikes in the shed. Fight the ant hills, and make sure the garage door is fully functional. A fresh coat of paint won’t hurt either, or a few new flowering bushes next to the driveway. It is all about creating an attractive curb appeal. 3. Clean – your home should be sparkling as if you are getting ready for an open house. Call it a “dry run” with just one visitor instead of a bunch. Empty the laundry hamper, put away the kids’ toys, hide valuable documents and mail in a locked dresser drawer or safe. Wash the dishes, give the bathroom mirrors a wipe, dust the furniture, vacuum clean, etc. I think you get the idea. 4. Pet protection – No inspector can do a good job during an Oklahoma real estate inspection when a little Chihuahua is constantly barking. It is both annoying and distracting. These situations can be avoided by taking your pets to the kennel for a few hours, or asking a friend for a favor. The inspection will progress a lot faster.
