What is a pre-listing home inspection?
A pre-listing inspection, typically paid for by the seller or listing agent, is an inspection documenting the homes safety, overall condition, and material defects before the home is under contract. This gives the buyer time to shop for the best pricing of repairs needed, saving the seller money while leading to shorter closing times and higher sale prices.
Why get a pre-listing home inspection?
In Bokeelia FL, Pre-listing home inspections are gaining popularity with sellers and listing agents due to the information gained during the pre-listing inspection. This helps the seller and agent get an accurate price and a smooth closing process without any last minute surprises.
- Less Negotiating – Buyers typically use the defects found in a home inspection to negotiate for a lower price on the home. This helps ensure you get the price you’re asking for your home.
- No Surprises at Closing – After your pre-listing inspection you’ll be able to pick and choose what issues you and the selling agent deem necessary to repair and what is a nonissue saving you time and money during the closing.
- Accurate Pricing – Pricing a home can be one of the toughest jobs you or the listing agent must do during the selling process. Knowing the condition of the home and any improvements done after the pre-listing inspection will help both of you accurately calculate the best listing price for the home.
- Time – Knowing what repairs you need to make before closing allows you to find the best bid for the work to be done. Instead of scrambling last minute to save the deal or worse negotiating a lower sale price than the cost of the repair in question.
- Your Knowledge About The Home – The inspector is working with you instead of the buyer. This put you in the unique position to provide details about maintenance, improvements, explanations about current or past conditions and supply any documentation that might be needed. This will provide the buyer with an even more in-depth look into the home than their inspector’s report could give.
- Help with Buyers Confidence – Once you receive you report you can show the potential buyers the current condition of the home and supply documents showing what repairs have been made. Putting you in control of sale and giving the buyers confidence in your home’s condition.
- Less Stress – Nothing is more stressful for you or the buyer then not knowing the condition of the home. With a pre-listing inspection you can reduce the likely hood of a deal falling through or not getting your asking price because of an easily fixed unforeseen issue.
