SELLERS PRE-INSPECTION PROGRAM

 

THE VALUE OF A PRE-INSPECTION

A Pre-Inspection can save buyers and sellers a lot of time, money and headaches, more and more home sellers are opting to have their house inspected before a buyer comes along.  Pre-Inspections are gaining great momentum in both soft and hot real estate markets.  After all, why wait until there is a real estate contract on the line to find out if there are any significant defects in the home? 

 

Marketing
 Once your Pre-Inspection is complete,   Prospective buyers and real estate agents see the distinction of a Pre-Inspected home as unique benefit over other similar homes. Pre-Inspected homes can also display tent cards throughout the home so that buyers and agents touring the home are reminded that a professional inspection report is available for review.   A Pre-Inspection gives your home the marketing edge!

By having a professional home inspection report available to the buyer, sellers can either make the necessary repairs . Studies show that homes in good condition sell faster and for a higher percentage of their original listing price because repairs needed have been eliminated.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT INSPECTOR
 The credibility of the inspection company performing an inspection at listing time is essential in order to obtain maximum benefit from the home inspection.  Both the seller and the buyer must recognize and acknowledge the firm’s credentials, which vary widely, since the home inspection industry is not regulated in many areas.
