Try a Home Inspection BEFORE You Sell!

January 24, 2012

If you are looking for  top dollar return on your real estate investment, you may want to consider doing a home inspection BEFORE selling your home.   If you are considering selling your home in the current real estate market it would be prudent to have a home inspection completed before putting your home on the market.   It is rare that a buyer will not have a physical home inspection done before closing.  Being aware of any problems and taking care of them prior to selling can alleviate the pain that surprise issues can bring.

It’s a competitive real estate market out there.   A seller’s best chance of snagging a buyer comes with having his property in top notch condition the day it goes on the market.   More that just looking  good, a home needs to function properly and it’s important to examine the bones in those walls.   A home inspection will inform the buyer of faulty plumbing, wiring, heating and cooling issues, the need for roof replacement, foundation issues, etc.

If a seller is willing to face and deal with any problems with the property  before selling, there should be no surprises when faced with a buyer’s physical inspection report while the seller is negotiating for the best possible sale price.
