As a realtor, you’re the calm center of every transaction — and home inspection day can be one of the most stressful points in the process. Buyers want reassurance, sellers want transparency, and both parties depend on your guidance.
At AmeriSpec Home Inspection Services, we’ve worked with hundreds of South Jersey agents, and we’ve seen firsthand how a little preparation goes a long way. Here’s how realtors can prepare for an inspection day to keep everything smooth, professional, and productive.
Before inspection day, double-check that the inspector can access all areas of the home, including the attic, basement, garage, and any locked rooms.
Missed areas often lead to delays, rescheduling, or incomplete reports. Confirming access ahead of time ensures your inspection stays on schedule and avoids additional visits or fees.
Inspectors can’t test systems like plumbing, HVAC, or electrical components if the water, gas, or power is off. Confirm with the seller or listing agent the day before that everything is turned on — especially if the home is vacant.
This simple step prevents frustration and ensures a complete, accurate report the first time.
Encourage sellers to remove stored items from in front of:
Furnaces or boilers
Electrical panels
Water heaters
Crawlspace and attic entries
When these areas are blocked, inspectors can’t properly assess them — which may raise unnecessary red flags or require reinspection. A clear work area helps inspectors do their job thoroughly and demonstrates seller transparency.
Buyers sometimes expect a “perfect” report — but even brand-new homes have findings. Preparing clients for this ahead of time helps prevent panic.
During the inspection, remind buyers that:
Most issues are routine maintenance, not deal breakers.
Inspectors are there to educate, not alarm.
Every report includes recommendations, not demands.
Your calm guidance helps buyers focus on solutions instead of stress — which can make or break a transaction.
Realtors set the tone for the entire inspection. When you project confidence, organization, and understanding, your clients will mirror it.
At AmeriSpec, we always encourage agents to stay engaged, ask questions, and join the walk-through. When agents and inspectors work together, clients feel informed and supported.
