1. Get estimates from a reliable repairperson on items that
need to be replaced soon, 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.
