\u2022 Sellers should want to do whatever they can to get everything accessible that is to be inspected.
\n\u2022 Someone could later be suspicious or accusatory that something was intentionally hidden by the seller.
\n\u2022 If something to be inspected is not accessible, the buyer could be surprised and suffer (and be upset) with something unexpected that might have to be repaired or replaced after closing the sale.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Make keys available for all doors, sheds, locks, etc. or remove all locks from gates, service panels, and anything else needing to be accessed.
\n\u2022 It would be best if your pets were visiting a friend or put away during the inspection. Doors will be opened and closed during the inspection, and the inspector is not responsible for a pet that gets out of the house. If any pets are inside the home, please let us know in advance so we can watch for them. Reasonable effort will be made to make sure pets don\u2019t escape, but it\u2019s best if they are not present at the time of the inspection.
\n\u2022 If children (under the age of 18) are in the home with no adults present, the inspection will not occur and a $150 trip fee will be charged and paid by the seller or the seller\u2019s agent.<\/p>\n
If the seller chooses to remain during the inspection, please understand that the inspector has many things to do in the allotted time. Children can be very curious to see a strange person working in their home, and the inspector\u2019s tools are not toys. The inspector may wish to have a brief friendly \u201cmeeting\u201d with the children to help them understand the inspection process. For everyone\u2019s protection, please find other distractions for the children.<\/p>\n
