Pre-listing Seller Inspections

Having your home inspected by a NACHI inspector before you list is the recommendation found in the book, Sell Your Home For More by Nick Gromicko.

Eventually your buyers are going to conduct an inspection. You may as well know what they are going to find by getting there first. I encourage you to contact me about inspecting your home before any more potential buyers’ tour it. The advantages of having it inspected now are many:

• It allows you to see your home through the eyes of a critical third-party and .provides an unbiased opinion to offer to your potential buyers.
• You can have me, a certified NACHI inspector, do the inspection rather than be at the mercy of the buyer’s choice of inspector.
• You can schedule the inspection with me at your convenience.
• You can assist me during the inspection, something normally not done during a buyer’s inspection.
• You can correct any misstatements in your inspection report before I generate it.
• I might be able to alert you to any items of immediate personal concern, such as radon gas or active termite infestation.
• It can help you realistically price your home if problems exist.
• It can help you substantiate a higher asking price. If problems don’t exist or have been corrected.
• It will reveal problems ahead of time which:
  • Might make your home show better.
  • Prevents delays in obtaining the Use and Occupancy permit.
  • You have the time to get reasonably priced contractors or make the repairs yourself, if qualified.
  • Permits you to attach repair estimates or paid invoices to the inspection report.
  • Removes over-inflated buyer procured estimates from any future negotiations.
  • Defects won't become negotiating stumbling blocks later.
• It may encourage the buyer to waive the inspection contingency.
• It may relieve prospect's concerns and suspicions.
• Your deal is less likely to fall apart the way they often do when a buyer’s inspection unexpectedly reveals a problem, last minute.
• 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.
• A seller inspection is the ultimate gesture in forthrightness on your part.
• My report provides you with full-disclosure protection from future legal claims.
• Copies of the inspection report along with receipts for any repairs should be made available to potential buyers.

I would like to talk with you in person to explain how I can help streamline your real estate sale. And of course I always stand ready to inspect the home you are buying as well.
