Pre-Sale Inspection: Reduce the Stress of Your Sale

Let’s face the fact:
Selling your home can be a roller-coaster experience.

Out of all stages in the process, the home inspection usually brings the most stress and anxiety for homeowners. You managed to successfully get an offer; now what could the inspector find to send you back to market?

Buyers are paying the home inspector to find problems (known as “deficiencies”) and the inspector will find them. And - if the buyers made their offer subject to the home inspection report addendum (99% of the time) - they can then request that you repair any found deficiencies within the scope of

• Mechanical
  Electrical
  Structural
  Life safety

So, how can you reduce the anxiety and costs associated with repairs requested from the home inspection?

Get one done before you list! (Yes, you can do that!)

Then, discuss with your realtor what items you may want to consider repairing before you list the home for sale. Some home inspectors even issue a “Move-In Certified” certificate if you’ve completed the repairs. A great marketing tool to help you stand out in front of the crowd.

• Knowledge is power. In this case, knowledge
• reduces your need to negotiate your sale twice,
  increases the odds of your sale getting to the finish line, and
  greatly reduces stress & anxiety leading up to the home inspection and associated negotiations.

Which means *more sleep!* - Which we’d all love, right?
