Navigating Inspections & Appraisals: A Seller’s Survival Guide

The offer is accepted—now the real work begins. For many sellers, the inspection and appraisal period is the most anxiety-inducing part of the entire process. In this episode, Kathy Zalewski and Kaila Henry of Realty One Group Peak in Bozeman, Montana pull back the curtain on how to survive (and thrive) during these critical milestones. From prepping your home for an inspector’s "keen eye" to providing the "ammo" an appraiser needs to hit your value, we share the strategies we use to keep deals from falling apart. In this video, we cover: Prepping for the Inspector: Simple tips to make the process smoother (and less scary). The "Appraisal Packet": Why we meet the appraiser with a list of upgrades and comps. Radon & Mold: Why these "deal breakers" aren't actually deal breakers in Montana. Negotiating Repairs: When to give a credit vs. fixing it yourself. The Power of Honesty: How your property disclosure is your best line of defense. Don't let a 120-page inspection report overwhelm you. Watch to learn how a professional agent navigates the nuances of the Bozeman market to ensure a successful closing!
