Seller's Home Pre-Listing Inspection

Sellers who want to be fully prepared to market their home may want to include a pre-listing inspection.  This is particularly beneficial to owners of older homes and homes that have had multiple owners.  A pre-listing inspection will give the seller important information as to the real condition of the home and what a buyer might potentially discover upon inspection that could devalue the property or terminate the sale.  Surprise defects and requests for expensive repairs prior to closing or something that doesn't pass an appraiser's inspection are no fun for the seller and creates concern and worry on the part of the buyer.    Inspection reports will contain all the noted defects from a missing light bulb to a furnace or roof that needs replacing.  These are items the seller can take care of before listing the property and will be able to assure a buyer they are getting a well maintained home in good condition.
