Selling a home?

You should think about a Pre-Listing Inspection. Why?

Fix problems before it becomes a headache

It enables you to know about potential problems before the prospective buyers find out with their home inspectors. It gives you (the seller) a chance to fix issues before you list it. How many potential sales have been denied when a home inspector tells the potential buyers that there is a major problem? 
There is nothing worse than potential buyers being told that the house you are selling has a RED FLAG issue.

Last-minute Deal Killers
This leads us to the next reason. A last-minute reversal because their inspector found something that scared potential buyers. The seller can avoid all of that with a pre-listing. Avoid being close to a deal and having to deal with the emotional roller coaster of a last-minute pull-out.

Marketing

Use the inspection report as a marketing tool to enhance your listing and sell your house. Make it known to all potential buyers at open houses and online that a third-party inspector has already looked at the home and has a report ready. Market it as saving them time and money. 

Saves Time and Money

Providing a pre-listing inspection report can remove important hurdles. 

• Buyers don't have to worry about finding and paying for a home inspector.
• Buyers don't have to worry about finding time to be there for the 3+ hour inspection. 
• Sellers don't have the added inconvenience of potentially multiple inspectors going through your house.
• Sellers don't have to waste time and energy to prepare their house clean, safe and secure for inspections.

Inspection Contingency

Can eliminate buyer's inspection contingency. It bypasses yet another barrier to closing the deal. Making the process less stressful for everyone involved.

As the seller, they can walk (instead of the buyer) with the home inspector and provide additional context and information on possible issues.

Peace of Mind

A pre-listing inspection makes your house more attractive and gives potential buyers more assurance about the house you are selling. It tells everyone that you have nothing to hide, and anything in the inspection report can be easily dealt with. And...no surprises!
