Home Seller's Inspections For The Astute Home Seller

What will the hired inspector find when they inspect your house ?

This information is helpful in several ways. A presale inspection will eliminate last minute surprises which can cause the deal to fall apart and make for ugly negations. By accurately disclosing the properties condition to potential buyers at once, you will likely receive realistic offers and the deal will close with fewer problems. Properties with fewer unanswered questions will often sell faster. Surprises which arise after the buyer makes an offer often leads to delays, price negotiations, and lots of second thoughts.

Almost all homes have conditions which buyers will want corrected prior to the close of escrow. When you know these defects in advance you can get repair estimates and provide that information to the potential buyers. You may wish to have some of the items repaired prior to listing the property for sale. A defect disclosure which is accompanied by a cost to correct provided by a reputable contractor can defuse a problem before it occurs. The unknown possible cost always appears more threatening and risky that a known expense.

Selling your home shouldn't be a headache of broken deals and unfulfilled promises.

Most sellers want to be fair and honest with potential buyers and complete the sale on amiable terms. It's nice to complete the sale and get on with your life knowing there are no surprises awaiting either party.

The buyers may wish to retain their own inspector to examine your property. Chances are, however, your buyer will be well informed. Full disclosure is always the best policy for all parties involved in a real estate transaction.

It is your advantage to obtain a high quality inspection on your property. An inadequate inspection provided by an inexperienced or untrained inspector can produce expensive problems for both you and your buyer.

Advertising your home as " Pre-Inspected" can be a very powerful selling tool. Many of today's contracts are subject to a full property inspection.

Save yourself the anxiety and expense of last minute repairs by discovering any potential problems up front. Include our report in your marketing presentations. A great sales tool offering peace of mind to the buyer !
