Sellers….Eliminate surprises and Speed up the sale

Eventually your buyers are going to conduct an inspection. You may as well know what they are going to find out, by getting there first. An inspection performed ahead of time helps in many ways:
1. It allows you to see your home, through the eyes, of a critical
third party
2. It helps you to price your home realistically.
3. It permits you to make repairs ahead time, so that:
a. Defects won’t become negotiating, stumbling blocks later
b. There is no delay in obtaining the use and occupancy permit
c. You have the time to get reasonably priced contractors
or make the repairs yourself, if qualified
4. It will encourage the buyer to waive the inspection contingency
5. It will alert you of items of immediate personal concern, such as
safety hazards or suprise defects that need attention
6. It will relieve prospects, concerns and suspicions
7. It reduces your liability by adding professional supporting
documentation to your disclosure statement
8. It will alert you to immediate safety issues before agents and
visitors tour your home

Careful consideration of these points will help you, the seller, see it as more of a benefit to inspect than not to inspect. More and more people are choosing to have a pre-listing home inspection in order to avoid the problems of killing the deal with suprises just before the sale goes through.

All too often, a home inspection is performed as a final contingency, of a sale with little time to absorb its impact. Any reported deficiencies at this time of high emotional stress can easily be blown out of proportion causing an overreaction and possibly the death of the deal. People are far more receptive to such deficiencies when they are disclosed to them up front, perhaps while they are viewing the home for the first time. The additional benefits to a seller is less renegotiating, less suprises, a better selling price, and less likely litigation over property disclosure increaseing your chance that a deal will close.

If you want to sell your home for more and get it done faster, then consider the benefits of a pre-listing home inspection today. A thru Z Inspections, LLC is awaiting your call. You can reach us at 801-592-2757 or email us at AthruZinspections@msn.com
