1. Have a signed contract!
2. Be sure that all parties involved are aware and in agreement with the date and time of the inspection: Seller, Buyer, Agents, and Tenants.

6. Appliances, sinks, water heaters, AC units, and electrical panels should be easily accessible.

8. Communicate any specfic concerns that buyers may have about the home to inspector and provide copy of seller’s disclosure.
