The Top 10 Benefits for Home Sellers

  1.  Be Proactive

    The home inspection industry has been designed around the home buyer.  Why not take the initiative and utilize the numerous benefits buyers have when using a home inspector?  Best practice is to get the most respected home inspector in your area to work for you.

  2. Know what you are selling

    Buyer home inspections are typically done after a contract has been approved.  That is no time to discover new and negative information about your home.  Be prepared and reduce surprises

  3. Prevent renegotiation of your selling price

    By giving the inspection report to the buyer before entering into a contract.  It is common that once a home inspection is performed and any major issues are found that the buyer wants to either have them corrected, get a credit at closing, or worse.

  4. Keep your deal from dying

    Realtors often claim that the home inspector killed the deal…So why not have the inspection on the front end?  The home inspection for the buyer is done at the worst possible time and only fuels buyer feelings of second thoughts and cold feet.

  5. Expedite the closing

    Some popular buyer mortgages, i.e. FHA, VA, USDA require homes to be in a certain minimum conditions and free of even small defects.  Know what they are by having one of our inspections before your home is listed for sale.  This will speed up the closing process.

  6. To repair or not to repair

    You have a contract with a buyer. Then the appraisal for the buyer’s lender is done which finds items in need of repair as mentioned above.  Are you prepared to make those repairs which will cost you time and money?  Do you think the buyer, acting under attorney advice, will make repairs on a property the buyer does not yet own?

  7. No wasted effort

    Your property may be in such a condition that in order to avoid the issues identified above you may choose to not accept an offer that is contingent upon a specific type of mortgage.  You will know this beforehand and no efforts have been wasted.

  8. Your team

    Between our inspection findings and your professional Realtor’s recommendations, you will be making the best choices of what and what not to do in preparing your home for sale.

  9. Mini Report Booklets

    We provide all our seller clients an unlimited supply of  mini-report booklets that can be put out for any open house or showings so that your property stands out from the rest.  We have field testing this process with several variations to know which one works the best to help expedite your sale.

  10. Earlier rather than later

    Since 1987 it was clear that both buyers and sellers would benefit most by having the home inspection done earlier rather than later.  This is like getting a Car Fax report on a vehicle before the purchase.  This is absolutely a “Best Practice” that is finally catching on for those buyers who want to sell their home faster, with fewer showings, less required repairs to make, and for more money since no re-negotiations were needed once the buyer found out what “As Is Condition” really means.
