Why Should You Order a Pre-Inspection on Your Home?

The spring selling season is just around the corner. One of the best things you can do as a seller is order a pre-inspection before your home hits the market.

As the spring selling season approaches, it’s time to prepare your home for the market. I recommend that you order a home inspection before you list your home.

If you're selling, you want to get the highest price possible for your home. To do that, you need to put your home on the market and show it in its best light. Pre-inspections will help you improve your home’s value.

By ordering a pre-inspection, you will know about all of the problems in your home before the buyers do. When buyers bring an inspector into the home, they use that as a negotiating tool. As the seller, you’re taking all of the negotiations off of the buyer’s side of the table.

It will be less expensive for you to handle repairs than for the buyer to negotiate them.

Get the inspection done and then have a handyman come in so they can fix everything. It will be a lot cheaper than you think, and hiring your own handyman will be a lot cheaper than what the buyer will try to negotiate for.

It is better for you to have full control over how much it costs for you to fix your home rather than the buyer.

Not only that, but buyers love to see that a pre-inspection was done and that repairs were addressed. If they look at three other homes without pre-inspections, they will be more inclined to look at yours and make an offer. Pre-inspections keep your house top of mind for buyers.

If you have any other questions about pre-inspections or about the spring selling season, just give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!

testimonials from happy clients

Nate -"The results we got were nothing but positive. He did everything he said he was going to do. We listed a home in Vegas and he predicted that it would bid up a good amount and sure enough, it bid up to almost $5,000 more than what he predicted! He was always available when we needed him and he was really good at answering our questions. If I could give him a five-star review, I’d give him ten! John is just the “extra mile” type of person."

Jerry -"The results were very good. I listed a home on Saturday, he did a video of the house on Thursday, and had an open house the next Saturday. After that we had three offers! He’s very conscientious of his work, and he did a really good job!"

Doug -"John is very attentive and personable individual. He’s very sharp at what he’s doing. He was very organized and took care of us very well. He was also very quick at getting things done. He got a crew in immediately and got the house cleaned up, organized an open house, and sold the house very quickly!"

Joe -"My experience was excellent! He’s the best! I’ve never, ever had a realtor go out of their way and do as much as he’s done. I’ve sent him a few letters and he’s followed up with me. I’ve referred a few people to him and if I ever went anywhere I would definitely call him up. I’m just amazed at how good he is. I give him ten stars!"

Steven -"I had great results. He is a great person to work with. He will help you find what you need and answer all of your questions. I was just very comfortable with him and he’s more down to Earth. He really helped me try to find a home for me."

John -"It was a great experience! We are so happy with everything he did. He supported us and did everything we asked him to do. We are just very happy!"

Thomas -"We sold our house and sold it quick! He did everything that he was asked to do and I’ve gone through that process a few times. He definitely met the standards that we were looking for. "

Alyson -"We sold the house. He is a personal friend of my parents and he kept in contact with them. He followed through on everything and did everything he was asked to do. He did a good job!"
