A home inspection is a critical step in taking your Bakersfield homes for sale from pending to sold.  But it can be an understandably stressful time for sellers. Someone is going through your home with an extremely detailed list while actively looking for defects. And often the process can turn up a surprise or two. Not only that, the sale of your home is usually contingent on the results. So it's easy to see why it's a good idea to prepare yourself and your home for this process.

• Talk to your real estate agent for advice.
  Our agents have been through the home inspection process many, many times with our clients. They can help you understand the types of issues that are common in your area, offer advice on planning for potential repairs and help you assess how much leverage you have based on the results of the inspection.

Ready to start looking for a home? It's important to know from the beginning whether you're interested in a condo or a house. A condo is a single unit, in either an apartment or a townhouse, that is part of a larger building. When you buy a condo, you're just buying that unit instead of a house, which stands alone and includes the plot of land it sits upon. There are advantages and disadvantages to each, and which works best for you may depend on your preferences and unique situation.

Here are a few considerations to keep in mind when discussing your options with one of our agents.
