My question to you, that have been through this, what will the inspectors be looking for or at or issues they will bring forward ????
Any help is greatly appreciated.

We have just gone through this..six..eight months ago and you will be expected to repair/replace a number of things.. The buyers have the upper hand.
We took very good care of our property but they found a patch of dry rot in one of our wood window frames and we had to replace the windows in THAT area...for close to 3K. We were fortunate because there were 57 window units in that house. We had to remove a birds nest from the chimney and repair some flashing(sp?) around the chimney. Put a light fixture in the furnace room. Add an exhaust in a basement bath. It was about five thousand dollars worth of repairs and believe me, we thought we were up on things.
But we did it, we sold it. And we are here. We have never looked back.
You do what you have to do.
Good luck. I know you are nervous and I truly understand.
