When you sell your home, you obviously want things to go as quickly and as smoothly as possible. And aside from pricing it right, making sure it’s in good condition is as important as it gets.
There are a number of chores to keep in mind to ensure that your home not only looks its best for potential buyers, but does well during inspections, too. Among others, these include:
* Perform maintenance on your heating and cooling systems to make sure everything works properly.
* Have your chimney regularly cleaned and inspected by a professional. This is a safety measure as well.
* Call in an exterminator, if necessary. Pay particular attention to signs of termites or carpenter ants and other insects that bore into wood.
* Check that all appliances function properly.
* Spruce up your yard. This is good for curb appeal as well as for warding off unwanted pests or rodents.
