I wouldn't focus on having buzzwords. You honestly do not have to be present with the inspector, but that is up to you and the inspector. Instead, focus on the report and all of the major things that are unsafe and can be costly to fix. Things to focus on would be electrical, plumbing, foundation, roofing, peeling paint, rotting wood, broken glass, and make sure all appliances are in good and working order. You can always call the inspector and they will go over the report with you and answer your questions.

I would suggest that you contact a Realtor so that they can give you a market analysis and give you details about the current housing market. Home sales depend on different factors and timing is not always the same. Your home could sell within 3 months or it can sell within 6 months. It depends on the market and if your home is what buyers are looking for.
