Consider a Pre-listing Home Inspection
Having a pre-listing home inspection by a qualified home inspector before you list your home for sale can have great benefits. Eventually your buyers are going to conduct a home inspection. You may as well know what they are going to find.
Also, a pre-listing home inspection:
> Helps you see your home through the eyes of a critical third-party;
> price your home realistically; and
> identify and make repairs ahead of time.
By making repairs ahead of time:
* Defects won't become negotiating stumbling blocks later;
* There will be no delay in obtaining the Use and Occupancy permit;
* You will have the time to get reasonably priced contractors or make the repairs yourself, if qualified;
* It may encourage the buyer to waive the inspection contingency;
* It may alert you to items of immediate personal concern, such as safety hazards or surprise defects that need attention;
* It may relieve the prospect's concerns and suspicions;
* It reduces your liability by adding professional supporting documentation to your disclosure statement;
* It may alert you to immediate safety issues before agents and visitors tour your home.
