THE MORE YOU KNOW

Getting a pre-listing home inspection offers some advantages to sellers that you may not be aware of. The biggest, of course, is finding out the exact condition of the property.

Here are some things to think about if you’re considering a pre-listing home inspection.

You find out what condition your home is in.

One of the biggest fears of most sellers is that when a buyer does get the home inspected, something will be discovered that kills the sale. This concern is undoubtedly justified. The home inspection is often the point where sales fall apart. With a pre-listing home inspection, you can work to get ahead of any issues before ever listing the property for sale.

Pricing the home accurately is much easier .

Choosing an accurate price for your home is one of the most challenging parts of the home sales process. It takes experience and skill to find the sweet spot – too high and buyers will stay away, too low and you miss out on money from the sale.
The best way to choose a price is to work with an experienced Realtor like me, but even the best real estate agent will struggle with pricing if the state of the home is unclear. Having an inspection before your house goes on the market ensures that you have all the facts, which makes setting a price much easier.

Minimize stress.

Selling your home is never easy, to begin with. Worrying that the sale will fall through because of something that turns up during an inspection adds a thick layer of anxiety to your life that won’t go away until the sale closes. By getting the inspection done, you can feel much more confident about the current condition of your home.

Help improve the buyer’s confidence.

Anytime you can hand a buyer an inspection report that details the present condition of a home; you’re probably going to make them feel more confident about the purchase.
Buyers naturally are skeptical about a home’s condition until their home inspection is completed. Knowing that a professional has already looked over the home carefully allows the buyer to make a confident offer.

MOST IMPORTANTLY if you choose to have a pre-listing home inspection. Make sure you pick an excellent home inspector.There is no point in having your home inspected if the home inspector only catches a fraction of the issues.
