Check list #7 through #8
  • Home Inspection Checklist #7.
    Get rugs and carpets shampooed or hire one of those “do it yourself” carpet-
    cleaning machines. It is better to spend a few dollars now rather than have the
    buyer ask for a “new carpet allowance” as a condition of purchase.
  • Home Inspection Checklist #8.
    Look carefully at the color coordination throughout the house. Does the color
    scheme flow? Does anything clash horribly with the rest of the house?

Check list #9 through #14

  • Home Inspection Checklist #9.
    Check for leaking faucets, running toilet systems etc. Strange noises or sounds of water
    flowing can spook a potential buyer. Tiny things can make a buyer wonder what is wrong or not working.
  • Home Inspection Checklist #10.
    Bathrooms need to be cleaned as if you could eat off any surface. They must
    be spotless! Clean baths, showers, toilets and sinks. Replace the shower
    curtain with a new one. Look for water stains, rust or calcium in basins or around
    the fixtures. Check that the caulking around the shower, tub and sink is in
    perfect condition. If not – replace it!
  • Home Inspection Checklist #11.
    Organize the closets to make them look spacious. Store your out of season
    clothes in the storage unit you have hired. It is important that closets look as
    large and as spacious as possible. Also make them smell nice.
  • Home Inspection Checklist #12.
    Look at replacing light switch surrounds. Check that light shades are clean,
    dust free and in keeping with the décor
  • Home Inspection Checklist #13.
    When people visit a strange house their senses are alert to anything unusual
    – sights, sounds and SMELLS. If you have a smoker in the house, then make
    sure your home doesn't smell like an ashtray. Spray some neutral air-
    freshener or use one of those plug-in types. Maybe the old trick of using the
    smell of baking or freshly brewed coffee might be worth considering.
  • Home Inspection Checklist #14.
    If you have pets, then put them outside when a prospective buyer calls.
    Check for fleas, cat fur, dog hairs etc on furniture and flooring. Also be
    aware that some people hate animals and some people are easily frightened
    and intimidated by a barking or over boisterous dog.
