Eventually your buyers are going to conduct an inspection. You may as well know what they are going to find by getting there first. Having an inspection performed ahead of time helps in many other ways:

1. It allows you to see your home through the eyes of a critical, objective  third-party.
2. It helps you to price your home realistically.
3. It permits you to make repairs ahead of time so that ...
   • Defects won't become negotiating stumbling blocks later.
   • There is no delay in obtaining the Use and Occupancy permit.
   • You have the time to get reasonably priced contractors or make the repairs yourself, if qualified.
4. It may encourage the buyer to waive the inspection contingency.
5. It may alert you of items of immediate personal concern, such as radon gas or active termite infestation.
6. It may relieve prospect's concerns and suspicions.
7. It reduces your liability by adding professional supporting documentation to your disclosure statement.
8. It may alert you to immediate safety issues before agents and visitors tour your home.

Copies of the inspection report along with receipts for any repairs should be made available to potential buyers.

If you don't think a full-blown written pre-sale inspection is right for you, consider one of our walk through inspections.

During a walk through consultation our Inspectors will take you on a guided tour of your home. Just as we do in our regular inspection process we will point out any problems that we would report to our clients in a normal fashion, but in this case you take the notes and photos!
