Providing Reports, Inspections and Disclosures
Most people think home preparation is all about curb appeal, cleaning up the kitchen and baths and other areas buyers will view when they tour your property. That is important, but I'm talking about a different kind of preparation. Were going to talk about things the buyer can't see when he/she visits your home.
There are any number of inspections, reports and disclosures that accompany a home sale. Be proactive and display these completed items for possible buyers to review. This list could include Termite/pest, Preliminary title, Transfer Disclosure Statement, Natural & Environmental Hazards and permits for any additions/remodels. You may also have local issues like we have here in Carmel Valley. We would add Septic report and Water Conservation Certification. You may also want to consider having a Home Inspection of your own.
Every home sale includes a "due diligence" phase where all this documentation is provided for the buyer to review and approve. Don't let some unknown and costly problem arise and jeopardize the sale. By taking this easy step, you can "tighten up" the buyers time periods and removal of contingencies deadlines. Let's keep those buyers moving in the right direction, towards the close of escrow!
Place all this great information in nice folders and display on your kitchen counter. Now the buyers can focus on your fantastic home and not worry about what might be hiding!
