Tip 43

Show that you mean business!           

When the professionals have done their inspections and all reports are in your possession, make copies.  You’ll want to have as many copies of each report at arm’s length, so you’re not scampering around for them at the last minute. 

Show buyers that you’re acting conscientiously and being considerate of their concerns.  This will indicate clearly that you’re a serious seller – and a professional one.  Make sure the dates are clearly visible on each and every report.

Tip 44

If I were buying this house…

After you’re satisfied that the professional inspectors did their job correctly, act like one.  Take one, long last look. 

Put on your eagle eyes, and ask yourself:  if I were buying this house, what would I want done or repaired?

Tip 45

Is there an expert around?

In terms of repairs and fixes, follow the advice of Bill Effros:  there are three categories of things you should fix: 

· Legally required repairs;
· Little things that make a BIG difference;
· Big things that make a HUGE difference.
