Do you Really Need a Pre-Listing Inspection on Your Home? Is the Money Worth It?

While home inspections are typically used by home buyers, you — as the seller — also have a lot riding on this transaction. Re-negotiations after an inspection may result in you needing to make repairs, a reduction in the price, or if more serious issues are discovered, revocation of the offer from the seller.

Put yourself in a stronger position for negotiations, and maximize your sale price, by having your home inspected before listing it on the market. When you fix repairs BEFORE offers come in, NC Pro Realty Group, brokered by eXp Realty, can market your home as CERTIFIED-MOVE-IN READY.  This is much like buying a certified car....you buy with confidence that the home is solid, safe and trouble-free.  

As your agent, NC Pro Realty Group, brokered by eXp Realty will put a sign in the yard next to the FOR SALE sign that let's buyers know you are CERTIFIED.  Marketing to buyers with this MOVE-IN READY program is super effective and makes your home shine above others when buyers are shopping. 

Avoid Surprises, Sell with Confidence

Go into negotiations with more control and ensure a quicker, smoother transaction. Findings from a buyer's inspection can catch you off guard, just as it can the buyer. If that happens, then you'll be under pressure to correct the problem quickly or lower the price. If a major problem is discovered, or negotiations break down, then the transaction is in jeopardy. And when a deal falls through, no one wins.

Thank you to True Home Inspections, NC Pro Realty Group's Home Inspection partner for the valuable information we provide to our sellers on this topic.  They are a InterNACHI Certified inspector (International Association of Certified Home Inspectors).  Their cost of a pre-listing inspection is reasonable, compared to the negotiations of price/repairs that can happen during the NC Due Diligence Period.  

Is your home a prime candidate for a pre-listing home inspection?  Often times - YES!  Sometimes, no.  It really depends.  Contact our team for the answer and guidance at info@ncprorealty.com or call / email our Team Leader, Jill Rigsbee.
