11 Inspection Traps:
Houses are just like people in one respect; none are perfect, and age takes a toll! However, before getting alarmed about potential problems, take a deep breath and realize that treatment is available and certainly easier with early detection.
In a perfect world, each homeowner would have inspections on a regular basis. Since this usually does not happen, then the next best thing is to be proactive and check out all potential problems BEFORE putting your house on the market. Disclose everything in your listing agreement, and don't wait to be surprised by the buyer's inspector.
