Prepare Your Home For A Quick Sale
Here's some advice on making your home attractive to potential buyers.
Get routine service done on heating and cooling systems. Pre-sale service will prevent big
surprises uncovered by the buyer's home inspection.
Wash windows. In addition to improving the home's appearance, washing may uncover broken
seals in thermal pane windows, which sellers may choose to repair prior to showing the home.
Repair windows and doors that don't operate correctly. Windows stuck closed may simply be
painted shut, or a symptom of the foundation settling.
Have a garage sale or donate to a thrift store to clear out excess "stuff." The home will seem
larger and more attractive, and offer improved accessibility to the home inspector.
Have a home inspection performed. Current knowledge of a home's condition helps when
pricing the house and negotiating with buyers. Sellers can repair damages pre-sale, and can
save money on repairs-for instance, replacing damaged sections of the roof rather than
re-roofing the entire house.
Experts say making your home inviting to a buyer can make a big difference.

Georgia Law (O.C.G.A. 8-3-331) requires home inspectors must provide their clients with a written document prior to the
inspection outlining the "scope of the inspection," . At Gates Quality Home Inspectons, Inc., all of our clients receive an Inspection
Agreement before we start the inspection. Don't be left confused about what you will be getting for your money.
