A home inspection is a common part of the sales process—and a moment that can cause anxiety for many sellers. Here’s what to expect:

• Buyers Hire the Inspector – Once under contract, the buyer schedules and pays for a licensed inspector.
• Inspection Takes 2–4 Hours – The inspector checks major systems, structure, roof, appliances, and more.
• You’ll Get a List of Findings – No home is perfect, and the inspector will likely note both minor and major items.
• Negotiations May Follow – Buyers may request repairs or a credit based on the results. Your agent will help you decide how to respond.

Pro tip: Fix obvious issues ahead of time to reduce surprises.
