Why should I get a Pre-Listing home inspection?
"Pre-listing Home Inspections" are similar to the general home inspection or GHI for short. Most pre-listing home inspection cover the four major components of the home the roof, foundation, plumbing and electrical. In a pre-listing home inspection it's the seller of the home that makes the request for the home to be inspected. The importance behind this is that the seller has the upper hand going into the sale transaction. Many buyers use the repairs needed on a home as leverage to negotiate the final sale price. This puts them at a strong advantage over the seller. Remember the seller wants to sell. So they often take the low ball offer and move on. As a seller, with a home that's been pre-inspected you have an advantage over other homes in the market at the same price. You are telling your potential buyers that you have confidence in the property you are listing. The inspection will uncover any issues before hand and repairs can be made. The seller can then provide the inspection report and any invoices for the repairs made. The home will more than likely sell for the asking price with multiple offers and close much sooner. The buyers may still request their own home inspector and that's OK. You have done your part to be ready for their inspection. Pre-listing home inspections can range from $175 to $550 depending on the size of the home to be inspected. DHI offers web linking to home inspection reports.
