In North Carolina as in most states, the "Offer to Purchase" gives the buyer the right to conduct home inspections, termite inspections, etc. This is a time for the buyers to have total access to the property to determine its condition.

Most buyers hire a professional Home Inspector. Professional Home Inspectors are knowledgeable, experienced, and thorough. These inspections take 3 - 4 hours to conduct and in the course of the inspection they will go into the attic, crawl under the house, run the appliances, open every door, turn on every faucet, etc.

The point I'm trying to make is that they were hired by the buyers to inspect the property. As a seller you agreed to this condition. Therefore, you should give them the time and space they need to do what they need to do.

Recently I had a seller client upset because the buyers and inspectors were in her house for four hours. Even though I explained the home inspection contingency and the process, she was upset none the less.

This morning I am off to a home inspection with buyer clients and I have been told the seller will be present during the entire inspection. Come on guys, this is a time for the buyers to have unconditional access to the property. So why don't we just let them have it!

Price
Price is of course always important. However, in a buyers market it is more important than ever to properly price your house. In a recent article I discussed the various reasons why you should Price It Right on day one. Please take a moment to review this article.

All you can do is ensure the price is reasonable and justifiable. This should ensure that buyers will consider your house. The price is actually decided by what a willing and able buyer will pay.
