What is a Pre-listing Inspection good for?To ensure that one gets the best possible price for a home, they have a pre-listing inspection performed before getting the realtor to list it. The inspection will educate you as to its present condition. If any work has to be done you can have it completed on your own schedule. With repairs completed before your home is put on the market, you can set a realistic price. Now-a-days, more and more contracts are conditional upon completion of a satisfactory inspection. ‘Satisfactory’ does not mean that your home was without problems, nor that it was falling apart. It simply allows the buyers to say that they were 'not satisfied', and subsequently get out of the deal. They may have simply changed their minds, but the house was OK. When downspouts direct rainwater immediately beside your house, you haven't accomplished a whole lot. It's a good idea to direct rainwater about 4 feet away, ideally on a surface that is sloping away from the building. This eager homeowner supplied us with a new twist... jetison the water! The results of an inspection are only revealed to the parties that commissioned it, so if you commission one, you will know what buyers will be told about the home...all things being equal. If you want your real estate transaction to run smoothly, enjoy the advantages and power this early home inspection will provide you. Although many firms offer this form of inspection as a side-line service, we at Reputable offer what we call the SMART Program as our only service. And we offer it to many more home-owners and for much less! Return from Pre-Listing Inspection to Our Services
