Pre-listing Inspection

Pre-listing inspections is a popular service being used by sellers. As the name implies the seller has a home inspection done before putting the home on the market. Pre-listing inspections have several advantages for the seller:

• Homeowner can confidently say they have disclosed all major defaults.
• The realtor/owner can show the inspection report to the buyer.
• The asking price can accurately reflect the condition of the home.
• The homeowner can repair or replace items of major concern before a buyer visits the house.
• Some realtors will share the cost of pre-inspections to improve marketability.
• No surprises just days before closing.
• Removes the worry about the phrase in the contract "pending home inspection."
