HOME INSPECTION  – a good idea before listing your home!

PRE-HOME INSPECTION = More Time and a Faster Sale

• If you have a home inspection done prior to listing your home, you can take as much time as you need to make any updates or repairs. That means you can choose the contractor you prefer, rather than having to scramble during the pending escrow time-line to find an available contractor in order to finalize the closing sale.
• A home inspection will tell you what shape your home is in and that, compared with the current housing market. It will give you a good idea of a fair listing price for your home — and most likely to get it sold quickly.
• Having a home inspection done before you list your home will also help the home sale to go through more quickly and smoothly. A home inspection will give you a clear and honest look at the state of your home, and you can make updates from there. This is also a great sign to prospective buyers that the home seller was willing to turn over the home in its best shape honestly and transparently.
• Waiting for the ‘Buyers Inspection’ puts the sellers at a disadvantage when a buyer comes back to the negotiating table with ‘Requests for Repairs’ or ‘Buyer Repair Credits.’ This can make or break a deal for a seller or cost a seller more money with price reductions or buyer sale credits!
