Pre-listing Inspections

By
Home Inspector with Hunt Property Inspections

Are you selling your home?  Now is the time to get it pre-inspected and ready to sell!  Move In Certified homes have been pre-inspected by InterNACHI certified inspectors and the sellers confirm that there are no major systems in need of immediate repair or replacement and no known safety hazards.

To schedule a Move In Certified Inspection, contact me at www.huntinspections.com or call me at 972.358.9732.

For more information about these pre-listing inspections, visit www.huntinspections.com/sellers

I look forward to hearing from you.

It cetainly makes sense to have a pre-listing inspection.  Very few sellers do that in New Hampshire.  I thinks it give the seller a lot of control over taking care of any issues.  I don't know why so many sellers agents never recommend them.

I agree. 

The following excerpt is provided by InterNACHI in regards to pre-listing inspections. 

Advantages to the real estate agent:
  • Agents can recommend certified InterNACHI inspectors as opposed to being at the mercy of buyer's choices in inspectors.
  • Sellers can schedule the inspections at seller's convenience with little effort on the part of agents.
  • Sellers can assist inspectors during the inspections, something normally not done during buyer's inspections.
  • Sellers can have inspectors correct any misstatements in the reports before they are generated.
  • The reports help sellers see their homes through the eyes of a critical, third-party, thus making sellers more realistic about asking price.
  • Agents are alerted to any immediate safety issues found, before other agents and potential buyers tour the home.
  • Repairs made ahead of time might make homes show better.
  • Reports hosted online entice potential buyers to tour the homes.
  • The reports provide third-party, unbiased opinions to offer to potential buyers.
  • Clean reports can be used as marketing tools to help sell the homes.
  • The 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 the agent of having to hurriedly procure repair estimates or schedule repairs.
  • The reports might encourage buyers to waive their inspection contingencies.
  • Deals are less likely to fall apart the way they often do when buyer's inspections unexpectedly reveal problems, last minute. 
  • Reports provide full-disclosure protection from future legal claims.
