7. Should I hire a property inspector?
While you might eschew the help of a broker or agent to avoid the cost of their commission, almost all sellers ought to hire a property inspector to report on the condition of your property. Many locales require such an inspection before a sale can proceed, and in the case of a very serious issue or issues, you may be required to complete the repair. Get the inspection before putting the house on the market to allow for time to make such repairs and because it will be impossible to estimate the property’s value before you have a third-party evaluation of the home’s physical condition.8. Should I hire a termite inspector?
We recommend this inspection for any do-it-yourself seller. Since the demonstrated absence of termites can only increase the value of your property, this is in your interest. If (knock on wood) an infestation is found, you will want to know to avoid frustration and conflict further down the road. And anyone selling a property online, “as is” with no contingencies must have such a report to inform the buyer of what they are getting.
