MINNEAPOLIS - s4story -- September is Realtor Safety Month, providing an opportunity for real estate professionals to consider how property condition can affect safety during showings and open houses. While personal safety practices remain important, hazards within and around a home can also create concerns for agents, buyers and other visitors.

Potential safety issues are not always obvious during a quick walkthrough. Loose handrails, damaged stair treads, uneven walkways and poorly secured deck boards can create trip or fall hazards. Electrical concerns, plumbing leaks, moisture intrusion and inadequate lighting in areas such as basements, garages and attics may also require attention.

A professional home inspection can help identify potential concerns throughout a property. Inspections may uncover issues that could otherwise be overlooked while a home is staged and prepared for prospective buyers.

Pre-listing inspections can be particularly useful for sellers and real estate agents. By identifying potential problems before a home is placed on the market, sellers have an opportunity to determine which repairs should be addressed before showings begin. This can reduce unexpected discoveries during the selling process and provide a clearer understanding of the property's condition.
