Prepare your home for the visit

Planning access ahead of time helps an inspection appointment run smoothly. If you own or manage the property, coordinate these practical details with Matt before the visit. Buyers should arrange access through the appropriate property contact.

Confirm the appointment details

Check the address, arrival arrangements, and who will be available if questions come up. Share any gate instructions and explain which rooms, outbuildings, or shared areas need special arrangements. Send access codes directly rather than including them in a general website message.

Plan for access

Ask Matt which areas need to be accessible and discuss any obstacles in advance. Keep normal walking paths clear and make suitable arrangements for pets. Let him know about locked rooms, occupied spaces, or other limitations before the appointment.

Share the background

Make a note of concerns you want to discuss, such as a recurring stain, an unusual smell, or a system you have questions about. If relevant records are available, keep them organized so you can explain what was done and when. Ask which documents would be useful to bring.

Have a follow-up plan

Confirm who should receive the findings and how questions can be raised afterward. If this inspection is part of preparing a home for sale, discuss the intended scope with Matt and coordinate your next steps with your property professionals.
