The pre-listing home inspection.
Is it part of your listing program? Do you recommend it all the time, or just with a certain type of home? The items that you uncover at that pre-listing home inspection? Do you prepare your sellers that they'll need to address those issues... or "disclose" those issues?
If you do recommend the pre-listing home inspection.. and the sellers find a fair amount of inspection issues that need to be repaired... how do you prepare them for any issues that a buyer's inspection might turn up?
We all know that just because inspector A found a number of items, and those items have been repairs, doesn't mean that inspector B won't find more.
I know many agents who strongly recommend pre-listing inspections, and other agents who just as vehemently recommend against them.
Where do you stand?
