Fall isn’t just for pumpkin spice lattes and cozy sweaters—it’s also prime time to get your home inspection-ready before the spring buying season.

If you're planning a spring sale, start preparing for the home inspection now.

Why prepare for an inspection instead of just waiting to see what happens?

Well, every home inspection will turn up some issues. It's practically a guarantee!

Even if you've kept your home in pristine condition, age and weather can take a toll. And while most inspection issues are minor, a lengthy report can give buyers the impression that your home hasn't been kept in tip-top shape, and they may ask for credits or concessions.

The more you can fix in advance, the more smoothly your deal is likely to go. If you have an older home, you might even consider a pre-inspection to give you exact insight on what you should prioritize.

Swipe for a few things you could do now to make your home more appealing to buyers and prevent last-minute headaches later.
