Pre-listing Home Inspection
A pre-listing inspection is one of the best cost saving measures a seller can take. Having this type of inspection performed can provide the seller with a list of items that need to be repaired or maintained prior to putting a home on the market. As the seller you will have the ability to either work the cost of repairs into your selling price, hire a contractor to complete some of the work or even do some of the work yourself. Having this knowledge will save time in the long run as you will have tackled all or most of the items that a buyer would use to negotiate the price of your home.
How would I benefit from a pre-inspection?
Having a pre–inspection performed shows buyers that you have taken steps to ensure your property is ready for sale. It gives buyers peace of mind knowing that your property is not siding any defects that could prolong the selling process.
The goal of selling your home is to get as much money as possible. A pre-inspection will give you a list of items that need to be repaired or replaced before putting your home on the market. This will give you an opportunity to get all these items buttoned up as well as help you avoid unnecessary repairs. You can also use the information gained through this process to adjust your selling price according to potential repairs. In the long run this will save you time and put money back in your pocket
Before putting your home up for sale you may have a general idea of what your selling price would be. What you don’t know are what potential issues a buyer’s home inspector can bring up that could potentially drop the price you had in mind. A pre-inspection gives you the power of knowledge and negotiation before anyone even sees your home. This knowledge will give you the upper hand when level setting the value of your property.
Peace of mind, money in your pocket and the selling price of your home are just a few benefits of a pre-inspection. Your investment of a few hundred dollars will translate into money saved and money earned.
