Sell your home quicker with a pre-listing inspection |
(NC)—In today's real estate market, the growing trend is for homebuyers to make offers that are conditional upon the outcome of a home inspection. This stage in the process can be stressful for both the seller and the buyer, especially if the seller doesn't know the true condition of the home. One way to relieve this stress is to have a Pre-listing Inspection completed. A Pre-listing, or pre-sale inspection is conducted prior to putting a home on the market. "Scheduling a home inspection at the beginning of the home selling process is one of the quickest ways to sell your home" says Colin Smyth, business leader at AmeriSpec of Canada.
An inspection conducted prior to putting a home on the market has many benefits for all parties involved. It will:
• Eliminate surprises about the home's true condition.
• Give the home owner the opportunity to fix possible problems before potential buyers see them.
• Help to realistically price your home before listing.
• Leave little room for last minute negotiations.
• Serve as a great marketing tool to help sell the home quicker.
As with regular home inspections, the key is to make sure that the inspector is qualified. When conducted by a professional, a home inspection covers about 1,000 check-points in approximately 400 items around the home. Findings should be provided to you in the form of a comprehensive report. It is vital that such a report include an objective evaluation of the condition of the home, clearly relating existing defects and indicating potential problems.
A home inspection benefits all parties involved in the real estate transaction. You can get further information or arrange a Pre-listing Inspection online at www.amerispec.ca .
