Have a seller's inspection to uncover surprises

"One of the largest stumbling blocks in a home sale is when the buyer's inspector uncovers issues no one knew about. Have a seller's inspection before you put the home on the market to eliminate potential surprises. Fix any problems found or disclose the issues to potential buyers by letting them see the inspection report."

Jim Ruppert, building consultant, Safe Harbor Inspections, Inc., Huntington
