For sellers, conducting a home inspection (or
pre-inspection) before listing their homes puts
the control back into their hands |
| |
|
When the buyer inspection finds problems, it can
impede negotiations and cost the seller more in
repairs. By having a pre-inspection, the seller
can help eliminate any surprise findings after
an offer has been made. The seller can make
repairs before placing the home on the market
and possibly even increase the value of the home |
| |
|
A pre-inspection can also serve as a great
marketing tool. Sellers are required by law to
disclose any known defects in the home. Having a
pre-inspection report available for buyers tells
them that the seller has nothing to hide. It
also gives them a clearer picture of the
condition of the home |
| |
|
If there are
major problems
found during the
pre-inspection,
it gives the
seller an
opportunity to
disclose the
condition
up-front, making
it less likely
for the buyer to
pull out of the
deal or try to
renegotiate the
price |

Knowing the true condition of a home can bring
peace of mind to buyers and sellers; and be one
less hurdle in the home buying and selling
process. Ask your real estate sales
professional for a list of certified independent
home inspectors in your area |
