Planning to Market your Home in the summer?

Getting your house ready to place on the market in the spring or summer has a different set of to-dos. The first steps the seller should look at are the things in the home you need in the warmer months. The grass and flower beds need to be green and weeded; the curb appeal is the first impression prospective buyers see. The sprinkler system should be checked for any broken or malfunctioning parts.

Next is the air conditioner/heating system. Any home inspection is going to probably find something that needs to be either serviced and cleaned or replaced. Along with the servicing have someone check for your ventilation in the attic and crawl spaces. To add some insulation or a vent or two will make your home more marketable.

Doing a pre-inspection will surly save some time and effort during the sale process, most inspections are looking at the large ticket items and heading any problems off at the beginning will make your listing look like all care was taken and will ease the buyers mind.
