Four tips to maximizing the value of your house when selling. Get a professional home inspection and roof inspection. It’s really important to fix health and safety issues, and you get a termite inspection and fix section one items on the termite inspection. Get your home appraised by a licensed, certified local appraiser who actually knows the area. That’s very important. Get your home staged, or do semi staging, both inside and outside of the home. Require the buyer to have a TBD underwritten approval, or at minimum, a desktop underwritten approval, never just a prequalification letter.
