Pre-Inspection Benefits

When you toured your home with fresh eyes, you may have noticed some things in your house that could use a little cleaning, paint, or other work. But you may not have noticed everything! That's why it's a good idea to get a home inspection before listing your home to identify all the things you cannot see from a walking tour. We call this a Pre-Inspection. 

Benefits of getting Pre-Inspection: 

1. Identify any hidden major issues before a buyer is scared off. 
2. Fix issues or schedule repairs before listing. 
3. Avoid costly "surprises" to your net return from the sale price. 
4. Give you and your buyers confidence by offering an inspection report with repairs completed before negotiating their contract price. 
5. Some buyers may decide to skip the inspection period if you've already done one, shared the report, and completed the repairs. One less contract contingency and a major hurdle in many purchase contracts! 

When the report comes in, try once more to be objective with fresh eyes as a buyer might, and decide what is easy to fix yourself and when you need to hire a professional. 

Once you get the report, I'm happy to review it with you to help you identify items for repair. I also have a long and great list of trades and contractors I can share with you too! You'd be surprised how many "big" items can be very affordable to fix proactively so you don't lose anything on the contract.
