Why wait for the buyer of your home to have an inspection?
Prudent purchasers will have your property thoroughly inspected before they buy it. An inspection will look into everything -- your house's roof, chimney, gutters, plumbing, electrical wiring, heating and cooling systems, the basement and supporting structure, and all the appliances and fixtures in your kitchen and bathrooms. A pre-listing inspection also checks for health, safety, and environmental hazards.
It pays to take the offensive and gain a competitive advantage. Discover the true condition of your house before putting it on the market. Defusing a crisis begins by discovering that a problem exists.
Consider these three reasons to have your property inspected before putting it on the market:
Damage control: Suppose that your house needs a new roof. The problem is there whether you know about it or not. Why wait passively for an ultimatum to fix the roof at a cost established by the buyer? - Due the findings of their own inspection. If you discover the problem before listing the house, you can disclose it to prospective buyers with a repair estimate. Your negotiating position is much stronger if you know about problems in advance -- and accurately know the cost to correct them. Some buyers will not want to tour your house if they know that it needs a great deal of repair work. A pre-listing inspection can reduce the number of contingencies in a sale agreement, which will make closing an easier task.
Enhancement: Professional property inspectors can help you spot minor defects, such as dirty filters in the heating system; ventilation problems in the basement, garage, or crawl space; blocked gutters; loose doorknobs; stuck windows; a missing chimney hood or spark arrester, and so on. Eliminating maintenance problems like these gives prospective buyers who tour the property a favorable, and a correct, impression that your house is extremely well-maintained.
Future planning: It's critical to have a realistic estimate of your present property’s net proceeds of sale before committing to buy a new home. If your home needs major repairs, you will pay for them one way or another - either by doing the repairs yourself, by reducing your asking price to reflect the cost of repairs, or by giving buyers a credit to do the work. A pre-listing inspection gives you more control over the selling process.
All of these reasons, together or in part, make your property more marketable and attractive to buyers because they know they're working with a serious and committed seller.
