Pre-Listing Inspection

Pre-Listing (Sellers) Inspections provided for Kerin Realty clients help sellers sell their homes faster, for more money, and with a smoother transaction than homes that are not Pre-Inspected.

Know Where You Stand

Generally, your final selling price is determined long before the inspector ever sets foot inside your door. That leaves a huge question mark lingering over your negotiations — are you going to be forced to drop your final figure again if a major problem is uncovered? By getting an inspection early, you’ll know what concessions a buyer might request. That allows you to set your asking price accordingly and find out whether or not you’re in a position to play hardball.

Buy Time and Save Money

Even in a relatively new or completely renovated home, chances are a home inspector can find a red flag or two. After all, that’s their job. When a fault is found during a typical home inspection, you may only have a few days to decide whether to make the repair or adjust the sale price appropriately — and you’ll need to find a solution that satisfies you and the buyer. A pre-inspection gives you more time to compare prices and treatment options from a variety of contractors.  The money you save may easily be more than the cost of the inspection.

Reassure Prospective Buyers

Even after a walk-through or two, buyers rarely know exactly what to expect from a home inspection — there’s always the possibility of termites gnawing on attic trusses or faulty wiring lurking behind those finished walls. Providing a pre-inspection assures the buyer that no major surprises are in store; while they might not waive their own follow-up inspection, they’ll at least feel more comfortable about placing a bid.

Seperate Your Listing from Others

Having your home pre-inspected is a great way to market your home and differentiate it from other similar listings. Prospective buyers know that you are serious about the sale of your home and willing to put a great product on the market.
