Resource Center: municipal sell-side guides from the Hearts to Homes Resource Center.
Selling Resources ยท MunicipalPOS is a city compliance step, not the same as your buyer's home inspection.
Several Southeast Michigan communities require point-of-sale inspections before a property can transfer. Knowing your city's rules early protects your net proceeds and timeline.
A POS inspection is a municipal code compliance review required by some cities before property transfer. It focuses on health and safety items the city defines, not the full scope of a buyer's private home inspection.
