On HGTV, the program "Holmes on Homes" suggests strongly what should be looked for, and often, how problems should be addressed!
Some would say, "Picky, picky." But, others would respond, "The pickier, the better!"
Me, I'm inclined to seek out the most thorough investigation, finding even the most minor 'errors!'
When I sold my home of some 42 years in St. Louis, the inspector nearly killed any possible deal by being very hard-nosed! My appeal succeeded in letting me sell "as is," thus avoiding serious issues, and allowing the buyer to "flip" the home with less problems.
Were I to sell my home again, I would insist on a detailed and honest inspection even before putting it on the market! I am convinced that the bottom line would be enhanced by such honest and careful actions!
