OK, here's the list I sent to the Realtor to pass on to his client. Just remember that it was never intended to be a comprehensive list of maintenance tasks, just a short primer to get the homeowner's interest piqued. I also tried to make it specific to a southern (central Texas) homeowner's focus. I sent this via e-mail to the Realtor on Friday and also dropped a hardcopy of it and a "Manual for a Happy Home" off at his office. No response as yet but I'll give him a call early next week. With the several offers of additional info that I've received (see above posts...thanks guys!) I'll probably expand this into my own more comprehensive list like those examples and have that available in the future.

Hi to all,

Michael, I would suggest that you also add to the list checking and repairing caulking around doors, windows, sinks, baths and showers. I have never done an inspection yet that didn't show deficiencies in these areas.

Oh and I don't remember if checking the opperation of GFCI's and AFCI's is on your list.

Regards

Gerry

Mike sorry I didn't see this earlier. The January 2007 HomeHints eNews www.homehintsenews.com has an article in it about an interactive home maintenance guide called the home wizard, check it out here: http://www.home-wizard.com/index.asp

It has a free monthly notification feature which is very cool. I think this right down your alley.

Thanks John, I'll give the Realtor a heads-up to be watching for it as he already receives HomeHintseNews and I'll provide him that direct link as well. That looks like a really good service, very impressive!
