She's moving fast.... inspection scheduled next week

September 5th, 2015 at 11:44 pm

I just learned that my buyer has scheduled an inspection for this Tuesday. Which means I'll need to go over there on Monday and snap the thermostat cover back on so he can test the A/C and heat. I had taken it off for showings so no one fiddled with it and then left the AC running all week. People were leaving a lot of lights on, windows wide open and even the bathroom fan running.

It looks like a very cheap thermostat as there is no on/off switch. You simply press the up arrows to raise the temperature (and trigger heat) or the down arrow to lower the temperature (and trigger A/C). At least that's what I think happens.

I feel nervous about the inspection, mostly because I haven't really checked the heat/AC myself, but I don' know my mother spent quite a bit of money on repairs recently, so it should be working fine. She was having trouble with it when she was still living there, but it was because of her dementia that she got confused with the controls.

The buyer has also set a closing date of October 14. It seems to be happening very fast, but that is just as well and I don't want to delay anything although it's all making me feel so nervous. This is only the 2nd time in my life I've executed a real estate transaction.

I know I have my mother's deed,and now I'd better go find it again and put it somewhere where I can find it quickly. My realtor already has my POA paperwork.

I'm really hoping everything checks out fine becus i don't want to have to make yet more money concessions for "issues." I do now all 3 ceiling fans wobble quite a bit but from what i read online, this is a matter of tightening screws. I would think the buyer would want to replace them entirely as they're extremely dated looking.

    That's quick, but not a bad thing. Usually inspection are within the first 7 days. Remember that the inspection requests the seller may request are all negotiable. You should have seen the list our buyers wanted!! It was insane. We had a big repair we really HAD to take care of (mold mitigation) yet they also wanted us to replace a tub drain. Sure it was probably $5, but it was the principal of it all. In the end we did two electrical items, had an vent reversed (installed wrong and we never knew, ac company corrected at their cost), and the mold mitigation (nearly $3K). The remaining items on their list could have cost us another $1K.

    The good news about her speed is she is committed to the property. She wants to be in before the weather deteriorates. Moving is miserable with cold weather and snow or ice.

    She sounds like she's really serious. Hope all goes well!

    Moving fast is a good thing! Fingers crossed that not too many things are asked for on inspection!
