Pre-Listing Inspections
Peace of Mind... Increases Your Bottom Line
What is This Type of Inspection?
A listing or pre-listing inspection is performed before or when a home is first put on the market, before a Buyer sees it.
This type of inspection provides a level of comfort to prospective Buyers through honest, upfront disclosure.
It's everything a Buyer would hope to know about a house.
What Are the Benefits to The Seller?
A Pre-Listing Inspection...
- Helps Buyers feel immediately more comfortable with the property
- Increases the Buyer’s perceived value of the home
- Gives sellers the opportunity to eliminate certain defects before needing to disclose them to prospective Buyers
- Allows time to make any necessary repairs in order to more effectively market the home in the most positive light
- Reduces the likelihood that buyers will hire their own inspectors
- Reduces the likelihood of costly surprises being found by a buyer’s inspector after the sellers thought they had a firm offer
- Virtually eliminates emotionally and financially draining re-negotiations
- Increases the likelihood that offers will turn into closings
- Reduces the buyer’s negotiating leverage regarding existing property conditions
- Helps sellers honestly disclose everything about their home, reducing liability for disclosure
- Reduces chances of being sued by unhappy Buyers
- Typically shortens the transaction process by 8 to 12 days by allowing buyers to write Purchase and Sale Agreements (RE-21’s) AND Inspection Contingency Notices (RE-10’s) both at the same time without needing to schedule time-consuming inspections that inevitably lead to further negotiations.
