A Pre-listing inspection is performed before the property is listed on the market. There are numerous advantages to all parties involved:
The advantages of a Pre-Listing Inspection:
Advantages to the seller:
• The seller can choose a licensed CAHPI Professional Home Inspector rather than the buyers choice of inspector, family member or contractor.
• The seller can schedule the inspection at their convenience.
• It may alert the seller of any possible issues that they may not be aware of.
• The seller can assist the inspector during the inspection, (ie if any furniture has to be moved). This tends to allow the inspector to fully inspect any areas of possible concern providing greater disclosure.
• The report can help the seller realistically price the home if issues exist.
• A Pre-Listing inspection reveals concerns ahead of time which:
1:May make the home show better.
2:Gives the seller time to repair defects or obtain competitive quotes for repairs.
3:Allows the seller to attach repair estimates or the paid invoices to the inspection report.
4:Can remove over inflated buyer procured estimates from the negotiation.
5:Can reduce 11th hour negotiations.
6:Allows the inspector to provide the home owner, realtor, potential buyer with additional informational literature, web links etc for any materials or areas of concern in the home (ie Vermiculite, Knob and tube wiring, etc.)
• The report may alert the seller of any immediate safety issues found, before agents and visitors tour the property
• The report provides a third-party, unbiased opinion to offer potential buyers.
When next selling your home, consider a Pre Listing inspection
