This seems pretty self explanatory, but it is not exactly a “requirement” to have your house cleaned up before an inspection. Usually, that won’t be written in the report; however, if the buyers come to the inspection, you don’t want them to see their potential future home in a mess. One way to do this is by decluttering. By getting rid of things you don’t need or won’t be taking with you on your move, it makes the home feel cleaner, tidy, and organized. It makes room for any new things that will come once you move, saves you time in packing, and helps prepare for your home inspection! Think of things somewhat out of the ordinary like items in your garage or attic and replace things like lightbulbs and air filters.
