So .... Your house is under contract, and the buyer has scheduled a home inspection.
Should you be worried about what the inspector might find?
The answer depends, of course, on the condition of your home and how well you've maintained its major components over the years. Regardless of what the inspector may uncover, however, you shouldn't be overly concerned about the actual home inspection.
Keep in mind that disclosure laws and customary real estate practices vary from place to place. Here are six suggestions as to how you might help the home inspection process go smoothly:
Leave the premises.
Be courteous
If you stay in the house, which is not advisable, during the inspection, don't attempt to argue or discuss negative comments about your house during the inspection - let me, your agent, do the work after I have received the Inspection Objections.
Don't make statements about your house that are beyond your expertise or personal knowledge or can't be verified.
Don't block access to normal living areas of your home.
Make agreed-upon repairs promptly.
Don't conceal any defects you know about.
Don't rush the inspector.
Allow the inspector to look at whatever area of the home they feel necessary.
The inspector will want to test the electrical, plumbing, heating and air-conditioning systems.
Refrain from debating with the inspector.
