Three Steps To A Pre-Listing Seller Home Inspection

Whether selling your home by yourself or working with an agent, the wisest decision you can make is to have a home inspection performed.  At Sacramento Home Inspections, Inc., we provide Pre-Listing Seller Home Inspections to help you address any issues before you list your property for sale. Knowledge is power; the more you know about your home, the more prepared you are. All homes have strengths and weaknesses, and our home inspectors are here to help you highlight the positives and address the negatives.  

Why should you get an inspection when the buyers probably get one? Getting a Pre-Listing Seller Home Inspection offers advantages as a seller. 

1. A home inspection before potential buyers start looking will allow you to understand any current or potential problem areas within the home. This allows you time for any repairs to market your home in the most positive light.

2. You get to price the home easier. Having your home inspected before putting it on the market can help your agent price it accurately, allowing you to obtain the Maximum Selling Price for your home.

3. A Pre-Listing Seller Home Inspection indicates a quality home and helps buyers feel more comfortable with their decision. Logically, it provides the buyer peace of mind, forgoing the worry of what the inspector might find. Sometimes, a pre-listing inspection allows the buyer to feel confident and may not get an inspection on their own.

Here at Sacramento Home Inspections, Inc., we give you an independent, unbiased view of any problems and their solutions. You will have all the facts you need to make a sound, informed decision. The inspection can take 2-4 hours, depending on the size and condition of the home. Ideally, you accompany your inspector during the inspection so you can ask questions and have visual reinforcement of the written report. We take our inspections seriously. Every inspection is a complete and thorough analysis of all the home’s major systems and components. Your inspection report includes a clear description of the conditions we observed, explaining any areas of concern and potential recommendations. We will electronically deliver the report within 24 hours following the inspection. Our inspectors are available for questions after the inspection.
