By Sally Delacruz


Each local authority will have different regulations that are used to govern the sale process for a house or real estate property. These terms will differ from one location to the next one. It however helps that a person be prepared for the home inspection Atlanta GA. He must make sure that all the areas are prepared for the arrival of this inspector.

Sellers can begin their preparations by cleaning their houses. It may sound like a simple process, but there are property owners who have been known to overlook this step. A clean house will provide the idea that you not only care for this house, but that you also take care of it.

Ensure you are on time because the inspector will definitely be there at the agreed time. Have the house ready for the exercise a few hours before the professional is expected to arrive. It is common for an assessment to begin from the exteriors, therefore make sure to leave the drapes down until you are fully dressed.

All utilities within a home must be plugged in during an assessment. This is the only way by which the assessor is able to determine whether they are working or not. Ensure that the dish washer and the air conditioning units have been cleaned as well.

It will be important to provide a working space around the water heaters and the furnace. The work space can be provided through the removal of book cases, furniture and boxes. This professional will require about three or four feet for him to work effectively.

In addition to making sure that there is enough space, it is also of importance to leave the pilot lights on. If they are not on, the assessor will not be in a position to inspect the utilities. Considering the fact that he is not covered for this type of liability, he will not turn the lights on.

Outbuildings will also need to be assessed. It will therefore be important that you leave behind a key for the garage or the remote control in cases where it is attached to the main building. For your sprinkler system, make sure that the covers have not been replaced.

All brush must be cleared away from the area surrounding the foundation. Clearing the brush will also include ensuring that all cans have been removed from this area as well. During the summer period, ensure that all dead tree branches have been cut from the trees and then properly disposed off.

A property owner must make sure that he has all the documentation with him.
