Before listing your home, do a walkthrough of your own house as if you were a buyer. Look for leaks around toilets and sinks. See if you can spot any problems that need to be addressed sooner than later. Buyers will most likely see these problems if you can.
You can always contact a home inspector, too. They can perform a pre-inspection for your property. This can cost around $300 to $400, but it is worth the investment. After the inspection, they will give you a report with repairs and problems to fix. If you contact us, you can ask our recommendation for a local inspector. Our office maintains relationships with contractors in the area.
Many people also ask if it’s wise to remodel their home (specifically the kitchen or the bathroom) before listing it. Generally, I advise against this, because you don’t always see that return on the investment. For instance, if you replace appliances and it ends up costing you $50,000, don’t expect your listing price to increase by that amount.
If you have any questions at all about pre-inspections, please don't hesitate to ask!
