1.
Get estimates from a reliable repairperson on items that
need to be replaced soon such as a roof or worn carpeting
for example. In this way, buyers will have a better sense
of how much these needed repairs will affect their costs.
2.
Have a termite inspection to prove to buyers that the property is not infested.
3.
Get a pre-sale home inspection so you'll be able to make
repairs before buyers become concerned and cancel a contract.
4.
Gather together warranties and guarantees on the furnace,
appliances, and other items that will remain with the house.
5.
Fill out a disclosure form provided by your sales associate.
Take the time to be sure that you don't forget problems,
however minor, that might create liability for you after
the sale.
