The advantages to your real estate business and your home selling clients are many:

•·                     You can recommend me, a certified NACHI inspector, to do the inspection as opposed to being at the mercy of buyer's choices in inspectors.

•·                     Buyers will have more confidence in placing an offer, if they feel you are representing the true condition of the property, by a third party unbiased opinion.  

•·                     Your sellers can schedule the inspections at their convenience, direct with me, with little effort on your part.

•·                     Your sellers can assist me during the inspections, something normally not done during buyer's inspections.

•·                     Your sellers can have me correct any misstatements in my reports before I generate them.

•·                     My reports help sellers see their homes through the eyes of a critical, third-party, thus making sellers more realistic about asking price.

•·                     I will alert you to any immediate safety issues I find before other agents and potential buyers tour the homes I inspect.

•·                     Repairs made ahead of time might make your listings show better.

•·                     My reports provide third-party, unbiased opinions to offer to potential buyers.

•·                     My reports can be used as marketing tools to help sell the homes.

•·                     My reports might relieve prospective buyer's unfounded suspicions, before they walk away.

•·                     Seller inspections eliminate buyer's remorse that sometimes occurs just after an inspection.

•·                     Seller inspections reduce the need for negotiations and 11th-hour renegotiations.

•·                     Seller inspections relieve you of having to hurriedly procure repair estimates or schedule repairs.

•·                     My reports might encourage buyers to waive their inspection contingencies.

•·                     Your deals are less likely to fall apart the way they often do when buyer's inspections unexpectedly reveal problems, last minute. 

•·                     My reports provide full-disclosure protection from future legal claims.

I couldn't agree more, Robert. I am trying to instill this concept in the western new york area.I am trying to get people before they talk to a listing agent. They don't seem to realize a little money soent on an inspection could bring them more money at sale time.

Thanks Roger - Pre-listing inspections are becoming very popular in my area.  Many companies are taking full advantage of the marketing potential.  Good luck spreading the word in the NY area.  I am sure it will catch on quickly.

Hey Brian, Thanks for the comments.  Feel free to take a look at our webstie for some other great ideas.  I feel, as an industry, we need to educate the real estate community on the benifits of the pre-listing inspections.  The more we market this concept the better, as time goes by I think the pre-listing inspections will become the norm.
