| 6. Home Inspection |
- You can allay a lot of buyer concerns by purchasing a
presale home inspection and then making needed repairs. It's fine for
you or friends to do general repairs if you know how.
Please leave the electrical repairs to the electrician, heating system
repairs to the HVAC folks, etc. Keep your receipts and jot down what you did. A presale report will not
stop a buyer from having his or her own home inspection, but it should
forestall any major items from coming to light with bad timing. The
buyer pays for his or her own home inspection and the contract will set
out when that must be accomplished. The buyers have a few more days
(whatever is stipulated in the contract) to request repairs from you.
You then have some time to figure out what you want to repair, what you
can repair. A repair amendment will most likely stipulate that repairs
be accomplished by a licensed professional. You will either sign the
repair amendment or we will come up with a different one.

- The buyer may request the home inspector revisit to
make sure the repairs are accomplished. The revisit is a buyer's cost.
If something isn't quite right, then the cost of any future visit is
yours to bear.
