Seller Inspections / Pre-listing Inspections

Pre-listing inspections (seller inspections) are becoming
increasingly more popular in the real estate industry because they
virtually eliminate all the pitfalls and hassles associated  with
waiting to do the inspections after a buyer is found.  Seller
inspections are arranged and paid for by the seller, usually before
the home goes on the market.  The seller is the inspector’s client.  
Pre-listing inspections reveal safety and mechanical problems
ahead of time, giving the seller time to make repairs and shop for
competitive contractors. This may make the home show better and
attract buyers.

Advantages to the Seller

  • The inspection report can assist the seller in realistically
    pricing the home if problems exist or substantiate a higher  
    asking price if problems do not exist or have been corrected.

  • A seller inspection reveals problems ahead of time which:
    might make the home show better, allow the seller time to
    shop for a contractor and make repairs, permits the seller to
    attach paid invoices or estimates to a report,  removes over-
    inflated buyer procured estimates from the negotiation table.
  • The report might alert the seller to any safety issues found before agents and buyers
    tour the house.

  • A seller inspection permits a clean inspection report by an unbiased third party to be
    used as a marketing tool.

  • A seller inspection is the ultimate gesture in forthrightness on the seller’s part and
    may relieve a prospective buyer’s  unfounded suspicions before they walk away.

  • A seller inspection lightens negotiations and 11th hour renegotiations.

  • A deal is less likely to fall apart the way they often do when a buyer’s inspection
    unexpectedly reveals a problem.
