When a homeowner decides to put their property on the market, its not usually a case of simply calling a realtor and listing the home, most homeowners want to get their property ready to sell first. This often involves clearing up the yard, painting, decorating and doing needed repairs etc. all to give the home as much curb appeal as possible. After all the time and money likely spent to do all these things, imagine how frustrating it would be if the buyers home inspection discovers issues with the property that the homeowner was not previously aware of? It might even put the sale of the home in jeopardy. So, what can be done?
A pre-listing inspection is the key to selling a home with confidence. A pre-listing inspection is a detailed inspection of the home before it is put on the market. This will allow the seller to become aware of any problems with the home before a possible buyer does. As well as the obvious advantage of knowing the condition of their home ahead of time, a pre-listing inspection puts the seller’s home ahead of the competition as this is something that will appeal to a buyer.
If you are about to put your home on the market and feel a pre-listing inspection is right for you, make sure you choose a home inspector that is InterNACHI certified. This will give you even more confidence that the home inspection will be carried out as thoroughly as possible and that the report will be an honest one. This way you can feel good about the sale of your home.
