Great Presentation today by Darryl Bailey, a registered home inspector. The presentation was about your house drainage system and the value of a Pre-inspection if you are going to sell your home. Do not think of it as an added cost of sale, rather as an investment to maximize your disclosure and maximize your sale price.
The most powerful thing I learned was that as a seller, get your house pre-inspected. This will outline all the areas that need addressing that the future buyer will bring up and puts you into a position with two options:
1.) Find the solutions, invest in the home and get the problems fixed; but the most powerful learning was:
2.) If you’re not able or willing to get the problems fixed… go out and get three quotes for the outstanding work. This will provide you with an unbiased opinion of the TRUE cost associated and put both you as a Seller and the future Buyer in a realistic position. Otherwise, you as a Seller think it may be a $10,000 fix and the Buyer thinks it is a $30,000 fix…. Whereby the deal will likely fall apart or never come together.
If you need a great inspector, consider Darryl
