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.

More people are choosing to have a pre-listing home inspection to avoid  suprises before the sale. If you want to sell your home for more and get it done faster, then consider the benefits of a pre-listing home inspection today.
