Home inspections are a critical part of the home buying and selling process. If a preinspection is not completed, most buyers will request an Inspection contingency when they present an offer for a home. This means that they will complete an inspection after mutual acceptance and depending on what the inspector finds the buyers have three options. First, to back out of the contract and keep their Earnest Money. Second, to ask you, the sellers, for a lower purchase price, credit back, or to fix the items that need attending to. The third option is if the inspector did not find anything needing attending to, the buyer can move forward and waive the inspection at that point. It's a pivotal part of the contract timeline and can create uncertainty with the buyers. A pre-inspection is an inspection done prior to the homecoming on the market. It is paid for by you, the sellers. Doing a pre-inspection takes the mystery out of selling your home and allows you to make any repairs prior to coming on the market. It creates an atmosphere of good faith and in turn, may help your home sell faster and closer to your listing price. I will help you find a reputable inspector and any home repair contractors needed. A pre-inspection benefits all parties involved by providing insight upfront, thereby helping reduce the overall listing time of your property.
