| Seller’s Pre-Listing Home Inspection
Eventually your buyers are going to conduct an inspection. You may as well know what they are going to find by getting there first. |
Having an inspection performed ahead of time helps in many ways:
- It allows you to see your home through the eyes of a critical third party.
- It helps you to price your home more accurately.
- It permits you to make repairs ahead of time so that defects won’t become negotiating stumbling blocks later.
- You have the time to get reasonably priced contractors or make the repairs yourself, if qualified.
- It may encourage the buyer to waive the inspection contingency.
- It may alert you to items of immediate concern, such as gas or water leaks.
- It may relieve prospects’ concerns and suspicions.
- It reduces your liability by adding professional supporting documentation to your disclosure statement.
- It alerts you to immediate safety issues before agents and visitors tour your home.
