Pre-Listing Inspection
A Pre-Listing inspection will help you identify any issues up front so you are not blindsided with additional negotiations after an accepted contract! The average cost of a Pre-Listing Inspection prior to an accepted contract is $125 (for homes up to 2200 sq ft), MUCH less than the typical cost to a seller AFTER the buyer’s inspection.
Fulfilling all your disclosure requirements up front eliminates unnecessary and costly mistakes!
Don’t let future potential buyers renegotiate your purchase and sale contract because of inspection disclosures!
Pre-Listing inspections give you time to make repairs and shop for competitive contractors, they permit you to attach repair estimates or paid invoices to the inspection reports, and remove over-inflated buyer-procured estimates from the negotiation table. There is no question that the cost of a Pre-Listing inspection prior to a purchase and sale contract is far less than the contract negotiations after the inspection!

These reports also offer third-party, unbiased view of the home.
