Most buyers will have a home inspection within the first 10 days or so of the contract. Sellers, you can do some minor maintenance to your property to prepare for the home inspection.

• Replace all burned out light bulbs and smoke detector batteries
• Put in fresh HVAC filters
• Repair or replace broken items such as window screens and glass, door knobs and latches, and light fixtures
• Trim trees and shrubs away from the house and roof
• Make sure the inspector has access to the attic, water heater, electrical panel

The more you prepare the cleaner the inspection report.
