Who pays for the home inspection, and should I use the inspector my agent recommends?
Buyers typically pay for their own home inspection directly, separate from closing costs, and that cost is not something a seller usually covers. Using an inspector your agent recommends is fine as long as you also independently verify their license and read sample reports, since the inspector's job is to represent your interests, not your agent's relationship with them. Getting a second opinion or comparing a couple of names before choosing is a reasonable extra step. Ask your agent for more than one recommendation so you have a real choice.
Do I need to make repairs before selling my home in Cumming?
Repairs before selling in Cumming are not required, since a home can be listed as-is with its condition disclosed to buyers, though skipping obvious issues can narrow your buyer pool or slow negotiations. Joel Boss identifies which specific items a buyer's inspection is likely to flag regardless of listing condition and recommends addressing only those. Cosmetic projects rarely need to happen before a home hits the market.
What if my Johns Creek home needs major repairs before selling?
Major repairs on a Johns Creek home before selling do not automatically mean paying for them all out of pocket, since a seller can often disclose the issue and price accordingly instead. Some buyers, particularly those using certain loan types, will walk away from homes with serious structural, roof, or systems issues, which narrows the buyer pool if repairs are skipped entirely. Getting a contractor estimate before listing helps decide whether to repair, credit, or price around it. Joel Boss can help weigh which route nets more.
