PRE-INSPECTION PLAN
FOR HOME SELLERS

A new marketing tool for selling a home – a home inspection at the time of the listing – is gaining momentum as the residential real estate market grows less driven by demand.  While professional home inspections are not a new concept, the idea that sellers can benefit by them is beginning to gain acceptance as the number of seller facing difficult negotiations over repairs escalates.  Research shows that homebuyers negotiate $2 for every $1 worth of repairs found during the home inspection.

For example, if your roof needs replacement at a cost of $1,500 your buyer will begin the negotiation at $3,000!  While you can certainly walk away from the deal,  you will be under pressure to close and valuable market time may be lost.

However, negotiations routinely occur on conditions found on the home inspection that were previously not disclosed.  By having an inspection done before listing your home and disclosing needed repairs, you control repair negotiations and could save thousands of dollars.
