What Should A Seller Expect From A Home Inspection?
Selling a house in Austin can sometimes be a lengthy and stressful process. From doing home inspections, having necessary renovations done, hauling trash off the property, staging your home for potential buyers, and putting it up on the market, it’s a lot of work.
We’re guessing you will want to sell your house with as little trouble as possible and the one thing that can make or break your sale is a home inspection. You will want to enlist the services of professionals like those from Austin Home Inspection Group who will be honest with you, will give you an honest review of the current state of the market and help you set a fair price for your home
HOME INSPECTION BASICS
A home inspection is an evaluation of your home from top to bottom done by a licensed professional. An inspector from Austin Home Inspection Group will spend time reviewing the state of your home and writing up a review which will be sent to yourself and your real estate agent (if you so choose) who will be the one to list your property on the market. Our team will help you prepare for home seller inspection.
The inspector will evaluate the state of a home’s systems, foundations, roof and components, such as the electrical connection, gas, plumbing, the foundation, paint, and the roof. This is a visual observation that will determine the amount that needs to be done and how much money you will be spending on fixing your home and making it market-ready.

Water Damage
Having water damage is a big deal. Home inspectors are going to know if the damage is just a bad carpet or if it is in need of extensive repair. Inspectors are going to have to look hard and through the soggy carpets in your home to ensure that you aren’t sitting on a potential hazard to the health of your family.
Cleanliness and Maintenance
Without a doubt, most people who hire home inspectors are hoping for the best but dreading the worst. Expect a lot of critters to be found living in your basement, including mice, squirrels, or rats. You should hire professional cleaners to clean your home top to bottom and ensure there aren’t any surprises lurking.
Structural Issues
Besides water damage, this is one of the most expensive things to repair because you will not know the extent of the damage until you start tearing walls down to see if they are still viable. As a seller, you do not want the roof falling down on your potential buyers.
