Selling your home isn't just about a sign in the yard and accepting an offer, it's about surviving the inspection period. First-time sellers often believe their house is in great condition, but when a buyer pulls five to seven different inspection reports totaling tens of thousands in repairs, escrow can quickly derail. The secret to protecting your deal is understanding buyer perception, minimal obstacles early, and using upfront disclosures to build trust rather than create panic. Watch to learn how seller proactive puts control the narrative before the inspectors walk through the front door.
