Seller’s Inspection
Whether you are selling your home FSBO or with the help of a realtor, a seller’s inspection is a prudent idea. Knowing the conditions of your home prior to listing it for sale allows the seller the opportunity to decide what, if any, issues found during the inspection will be corrected. It allows the seller time to search for the best value contractor (not always the cheapest) to do the work needed rather than whoever is available to get the job done by the closing. The seller can also opted to not do some or all repairs but price the home with the repairs in mind. The inspection report can be laid out for potential buyers along with bids on the repairs needed. There should be little if any negotiation. Buyers may decide to forego a buyer’s inspection since the home is “pre-inspected” thus saving them money – another good selling point!
