Don’t wait for the official home inspection. Whether you maintain your home annually or not, there are non-negotiable things you need to do before putting your home on the market. Some items on the list are not mandatory, but fixing them can substantially increase the salability of your home and the asking price. Other items could cause you to fail the inspection and add unplanned expenses and delay or ruin the sale. If you are thinking of moving, don’t miss this class. Teachers will schedule a complimentary one-on-one with you if you have additional specific questions. Hand-outs will be provided. Bring a spouse for free.
