It may still be winter but spring is fast approaching. With that in mind, I decided to go over some things you need to do to get your home ready for the spring market.
Start with the exterior. Walk around the outside of your home and take a look at the key things that tend to be issues with home inspections.
First, check your downspouts and make sure they are pushing water away from the foundation of your home. We see issues with water damage in basements and crawl spaces every day, and those issues can stem from your downspouts.

Make sure the slope of your home prevents water from rolling into the property.

Next, look at all of your door jambs. If they are discolored, starting to rot, or need any sort of maintenance, you need to jump on that because those issues will only get worse.
You should also take a good look at your windows and make sure the slope of your home is preventing water from rolling into the property.
Lastly, get into your crawl spaces and make sure you don’t have any water or mold issues.
If you have any other questions about how to prepare your home for the spring market, or if you have any other real estate-related questions, please don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I’m more than happy to help!
