After you have signed the contract of sale on you Hilton Head property you need to prepare for the inspection.  Unless you sold your property with no repairs or CL-100 requirements and crossed out and initialed paragraph’s 4 and 5 in your contract, you are bound to convey your property and its systems in “good working” order.  Inspectors are hired by purchasers to review the systems and the house and report what they see.  They are not allowed to put a new light bulb in, they simply report that the light was not working.  Therefore we would suggest to any seller to follow the checklist below before the inspection.   Listed below are our suggestions for simple maintenance and repairs before the inspector arrives.
