Getting Ready to Sell Your Home
By Terri Wright

Probably one of the most important yet most over looked aspects of getting a home ready to market is to go over your home thoroughly and make repairs as necessary. Today most Buyers are being encouraged by their REALTOR to have a Home Inspection.

Sometimes small items such as a loose "switch plate cover" are not fixed prior to the inspection. Once an inspection has been completed, many contracts require that a licensed electrician come out to fix the problem. Therefore, it would be your benefit to have small items fixed prior to marketing the home. However, please remember that any significant repairs to the structure, the heating and cooling systems, the plumbing system, the electrical system, and the roof should always be done by a qualified professional and/or licensed contractor.
