By having a pre-listing home inspection done before going on the market, you can get ahead of issues a buyer might find during an inspection, and reduce the likelihood that the sale will fall through.
Regardless of how long you’ve lived in your home or how old it is, there could be unknown issues that you are unaware of, and learning about them before you list could end up saving you thousands.
Having a pre-listing inspection done also gives you an opportunity to collect cost estimates for repairs, and determine whether or not you want to pay to have large repairs done proactively before listing, or lower the price.
Some other advantages to a pre-listing home inspection are:
✔️ Discover property conditions before a buyer walks through the door
✔️ Fix problems and display receipts showing what repairs have been made
✔️ Disclose any and all known defects with the home
✔️ Help prevent buyers from subtracting thousands for what may be a hundred dollars worth of repairs
✔️ Shop contractors to find the best price for repairs
✔️ Set your listing apart from the others
✔️ Demonstrate your motivation and strengthen your market position
