Faced with the largest financial commitment you will ever make, intelligent homebuyers, lenders and real estate professionals request a comprehensive home inspection to uncover potential hidden problems before the purchase. Know exactly what you're buying--old or new.
CONSIDER THE BENEFITS OF A HOMEBUYERS INSPECTION
- Provides peace of mind, helps you to make a sound home buying decision
- Reveals the need for repairs or replacements before you buy
- Limits the number of surprises you may discover after you move in
- Learn what types of systems are in the home and how they function.
- Gives you invaluable details about your new home
- The condition of the property
- How the house operates
- Ages of major systems and their life expectancy
Proactively sell your home by having a home inspection performed before a buyer even enters the picture. This is an area where only a professional home inspection can be of assistance. If your home is in excellent condition this should be promoted through an inspection report that can be shown to interested parties. A positive inspection report will go a long way in justifying a higher listing price. Buyers generally try and negotiate two times the actual cost of repairs needed.
CONSIDER THE BENEFITS OF A PRE-LISTING HOME INSPECTION!
- Prepares you for issues that an inspection for the buyer will reveal, giving you the opportunity to become aware of, and repair, property conditions so they don't pose a problem when negotiating your sale
- Makes your house more marketable and attractive to buyers because they know they're working with a sincere and committed seller
- Eliminates last minute repair hassles that could delay closing
- Reduces the number of contingencies in a sale agreement, which makes closing easier
- Decreases the possibility of unknowns causing a sale to fall through
- Gives you more control over the selling process
- Minimizes if not eliminate renegotiations over repairs once a buyer is found and has a home inspection
- Present the inspection report to your buyers and let them know that all the repairs needed are reflected in the listing price
