Terry's Tuesday Tip:

To maintain an Ohio home during rainy months, prioritize clearing gutters and downspouts to prevent water from entering the basement. Ensure gutters are clear of debris and that downspouts extend at least \(3\) to \(4\) feet away from the foundation. Test the sump pump, seal exterior gaps, and monitor for mold in basements or attics.

A pre-listing home inspection helps sellers identify issues early, allowing them to make repairs on their own terms, justify a higher asking price, and build buyer trust through transparency. It reduces the likelihood of failed contracts, prevents last-minute surprises during escrow, and streamlines the closing process.
