Preparing Your Home To Be Inspected

When you put your home up for sale it understandably receives considerable exposure from interested buyers. But given the current conditions of the real estate market, the competition is significantly difficult and potential buyers always have hundreds of properties to choose from.

As such, if they find even a single issue in your home, they are likely to be driven away. What can you do in this regard?

Have it pre-inspected! This will allow you to make repairs at a reasonable cost, and help avoid the dreaded eleventh hour negotiations.

Frequently Asked Pre-Listing Inspection Questions

How Does a Pre-Listing Inspection Work?

Normally, the pre-listing inspection is performed before the home is listed on the market. This allows prospective buyers to see the condition of the home prior to negotiations being made. Having the inspection performed after negotiations can cause all kinds of issues on the part of the buyer, so it’s easy to see how this kind of inspection can benefit everyone involved.

How long does it take to perform a Pre-Listing Home Inspection?

That depends on the size of the home, the age of the home, and how many things are being found a good rule of thumb is to allow at least three hours.

Should I be present for the Pre-Listing Inspection?

Yes, we encourage everyone involved to be present during a home inspection, or mold inspection. Not only will we be investigating the current condition of the home but will also be giving many tips on how to maintain the home.

How far in advance do I need to book my Home Inspection?

We tend to book out between 5 and 10 days however we know time is a factor and the inspection needs to be done sooner than that. In those cases we do everything possible to fit your inspection in, as long as it doesn’t make it so the inspector will have to rush anyone’s inspection.

Will You Tell Me The Value of The Home?

What a Great Question! In general a home inspection does not determine the value of the home. We recommend reading our blog What is The Difference Between a Home Inspection and an Appraisal.

What Are the Benefits of a Pre-Listing Inspection?

The benefits are numerous. Being upfront about the condition of the home will help to eliminate conditional offers or issues with negotiations, resulting in the seller having to sell the home more than once because the buyer has changed their mind. Everything is agreed upon before the listing is published and the home goes on the market, which minimizes the liability for all parties.

On top of this, if the home is found to be in better condition than originally thought, the price can reflect this. The buyer is also more likely to make an offer without their own inspection because one has already been performed, which can increase the speed at which the house is sold and changes hands. There will be no conflicting information making the transaction complicated—just peace of mind for everyone, and a smoother, quicker process where everyone wins.

If you’re selling your home, we highly recommend considering a pre-listing inspection to make your sale as quick and easy as possible.
