Stay calm, be prepared, and understand what buyers care about most. Sudbury realtor Tyler Peroni walks sellers through the inspection process so nothing catches you off guard.
After you accept an offer, the buyer usually books a home inspection within a few days. This is normal — almost every Sudbury home goes through it. The inspector checks major systems like the roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, foundation, attic, and exterior. Tyler always tells sellers, “No home is perfect. The inspector will find something. That’s okay.”
Before inspection day, do a quick check yourself:
Replace burnt-out bulbs
Make sure all utilities are on
Clear access to electrical panels, furnace, and attic
Fix simple items like loose handles or dripping taps
These small steps make a good impression and show the home is well maintained.
After the inspection, the buyer may:
Move forward with no concerns
Ask for small repairs
Request a price adjustment
Back out (rare, unless there’s a serious issue)
This is where Tyler steps in. He reviews the report with you and helps decide whether repair requests are reasonable. Sudbury buyers usually focus on major items — roofing, electrical safety, plumbing leaks, foundation cracks — not minor cosmetic stuff.
If repairs are needed, Tyler helps negotiate fair solutions. Sometimes you fix an item, sometimes you offer a credit, and sometimes you stand firm. It depends on the home, the issue, and the market.
The key is not to panic. Inspections are part of the process, and most deals move forward smoothly.
