🏡 THINKING ABOUT SELLING? BEFORE THE BUYER’S INSPECTOR FINDS IT… YOU SHOULD. 🔍

One of the biggest mistakes sellers make is waiting until they’re under contract to discover the little things hiding around the house.

A dripping pipe. Slow drain. Dead outlet. Dirty HVAC filter. Missing shingle.

They may seem minor now, but once they’re on an inspection report, they can become negotiating points for the buyer.

Before listing, give your home a simple DIY Seller Checkup:

🔧 PLUMBING
✔ Check under sinks & around toilets for leaks
✔ Test water pressure & drains
✔ Look for rust or leaks around the water heater

⚡ ELECTRICAL
✔ Test switches & outlets
✔ Watch for flickering lights or dead outlets
✔ Never ignore buzzing or burnt smells — call a professional

❄️ HVAC
✔ Replace dirty filters
✔ Make sure vents are clear
✔ Test heating & cooling

🏠 ROOF & ATTIC
✔ Look for damaged or missing shingles
✔ Clean gutters
✔ Check the attic for moisture, stains or leaks

🔍 STRUCTURE
✔ Look for noticeable foundation cracks
✔ Check that doors & windows operate properly
✔ Pay attention to uneven floors, sagging ceilings or new cracks

✨ THEN LOOK THROUGH A BUYER’S EYES.

Patch holes. Touch up paint. Replace burned out bulbs. Fix the loose doorknob. Take care of those little projects you’ve been putting off.

A DIY walkthrough doesn’t replace a professional inspection, but it can help identify items that deserve attention BEFORE your home hits the market.
