Seller’s Pre-Listing Inspection

If you are selling your house, your buyer will eventually conduct their own Home Inspection to determine the house’s condition.  You may as well know what that inspection will find before they do. Schedule a pre-listing home inspection today in Boulder, Longmont, or Loveland, CO.

Sure, you have probably lived in the house for years, but many defects are not always evident, and new conditions may develop over time.  A pre-listing inspection will give you a chance to see your house through a prospective buyer’s eyes.  Often, experienced and professional listing agents recommend a pre-listing inspection.  If the major defects and safety issues are identified and addressed, the revised report is a great sales tool!

Another benefit of having a seller’s home inspection is that you can address any issues on your own schedule.  You will have time to get bids on the work from multiple contractors, and you can choose the best fit for the job, rather than possibly paying a premium to have the work completed before closing by whoever is available.

What is  MoveInCertified.com? 

If you choose, your pre-listing inspection will be posted on a national website, for any interested buyer to download and check for themselves.  The Buyer simply goes to the website, enters the property address, and then has access to the complete revised inspection report.  Your house will sell more quickly, and the buyers may even waive the inspection contingency. In a competitive market, that certainty is a genuine advantage for your listing.

Do I Need a Home Inspection?

Forewarned is forearmed, and selling your house is a stressful enough process as it is.  Why not eliminate some of that stress?  A Pre-Listing Home Inspection will point out any problems with the house, ahead of time, and help in many other ways:

  • It allows you to evaluate your house through the eyes of an objective third party.  How will a prospective buyer see your home?  How can you maximize that critical first impression?
  • It helps you to set the price of your house realistically and gives you the ability to maximize the sale price.  So many homes do not sell simply because the owner has no objective way of knowing what it is really worth to a potential buyer.
  • It permits you to make some, or all, of the needed repairs ahead of time so that defects won’t become negotiating stumbling blocks later.  Most found defects are fairly inexpensive to fix.
  • It avoids delays in obtaining financing and insurance.
  • You will have the time to get reasonably priced contractors or make the repairs yourself, if qualified, without having to scramble to meet a purchase contract imposed deadline.  A good home inspector can be of help here too by referring qualified contractors.
  • It may encourage the buyer to waive the inspection contingency.
  • It may alert you of items of immediate personal concern, such as asbestos, radon gas, mold, or active termite infestation.
  • It will relieve the prospective buyer’s concerns and suspicions.
  • It reduces your liability by adding professional supporting documentation to your disclosure statement.
  • It alerts you to immediate safety issues before agents and visitors tour your home.

A copy of the inspection report, as well as the receipts for any repairs, can be made available to potential buyers.  Pre-planning and proactive repairs usually pay for themselves many times over.
