Inspection day is a big day during your home buying process. It’s your opportunity to understand the true condition of your home and pinpoint any issues before you buy. It can be a fun yet exhausting day so to make things easier, here are a few key things you should look at when inspecting your home.

Foundation

Look around the interior walls and ceilings of each room. Are there apparent cracks or shifts in the foundation? Do the same around the outside. Does the foundation appear straight? Walk the perimeter of the home to inspect if there are any trees that may be encroaching on the structure of the foundation.

Storage

Storage is key. As a home seller you’ve got to have potential buyers in mind. Many of your would-be buyers may have lots of Texas-sized toys, think ATVs, dirtbikes, boats and trailers. If your property is strapped for storage space or if your garage isn’t quite big enough, large outdoor storage sheds can be the solution to the storage problem.

About eight percent of houses sold a year are homes sold by the owner. If you want to save time and money, there will be some things you’ll need to avoid. Even with a real estate agent, some of these tips will help a sale run a little bit smoother.

Be sure to clean up the house for showings, maybe even splurge on professional carpet cleaning. A big problem with house showings is the smell. Stains on the carpet and bad odor from pets can be a
