Pre-Sale Inspection for Sellers
Every home seller should consider having a home inspection before putting their home on the market. Doing so will help make the selling process run smoothly and put you in a position to get the best price for your home. In today’s home market, buyers make sure what they are buying is worth the funds and sellers are trying to get the best return for their investment.
Now, it may seem redundant to have a home inspection done before selling your home, since a buyer will complete their own home inspection.
However, with a pre-sale home inspection you’ll have the piece of mind that there will be no hidden surprises at the end of home sale process. A pre-sale inspection could uncover conditions in need of attention in advance. That way you will be able to repair them on your own terms without reducing your asking price to close the deal or, worst of all, have a potential buyer walk away.
By having a pre-sale inspection completed, you can identify problems early. Then you have the choice to either correct them or present your home as is, assuring that the first offer you accept moves quickly and smoothly to closing without delays or costly surprises.
