Why Silicon Valley Sellers Should Provide a Property Inspection Report
By Michelle Carr-Crowe, Silicon Valley real estate agent and home selling expert
Should a home seller in San Jose, Saratoga or Cupertino provide a property inspection report? Sellers from Palo Alto to Campbell, Calif. ask me this every in my real estate consultation appointments.
They ask, “Paying for inspections is something the buyer should do, not the seller, right?
True, a buyer may pay for a second property control inspection. However, in today's market, providing a property inspection report (and a pest inspection) can help buyers make quicker decisions when it's time to make offers-and forego additional negotiations when it's time to remove contingencies.
If you're considering selling a Silicon Valley home, talk with your real estate consultant to be sure you provide all of the documentation required for a buyer to make an educated offer on your home.
Providing a property inspection as well as disclosures, pest and roof inspections and reports ahead of time can help Santa Clara County home sellers avoid negotiations when it’s time for buyers to remove contingencies.
