Listing Inspections Help Sell Real Estate

By
Home Inspector with Advantage Inspection of Asheville-Hendersonville

Help your client sell their home faster with no headaches.   The Real Estate market is changing and the method for selling homes faster is also changing.   Realtors and Homeowners are finding that their homes are selling faster with fewer headaches when they have a Listing Home Inspection done at the time of listing.  This helps provide full disclosure, helps to properly price the home (Right Pricing) and prevent negotiations that can often result in lower profits, delayed closings or no closings at all.

It is much more beneficial for a Home Seller to find out if there are any deficiencies with their home before a buyer has an inspection done.  This allows the current Homeowner to prepare the home for sale.  The Homeowner can make repairs to items noted by using his/her preferred contractors, materials and methods of repair in lieu of having a buyer dictate these.  They are also not under the gun to have repairs made in a shortened time frame.

Beyond the Home Inspection at the time of Listing, Advantage Inspection also has the ability to offer the only "No Claims Denied" Home Warranty on the market in the United States.   It is a unique package that allows the Home Inspection to underwrite the Home Warranty and therefor can offer full coverage with no hidden denied claims.  

 

"After being in Real Estate for just over 15 months, I wanted to take my business to the next level. As most businesses or self employed people do, I looked for anything that I could find that would set me apart from the other 2000 plus REALTORS in the Greenville market area. I am happy to say that it did not take me long to find exactly what I was looking for. With every listing I take I automatically order an Advantage Home Inspection and a Common Cents Pest Control Wood Infestation / Termite Inspection. These inspections are free to my clients and it has proven to be one of the best listing tools I have seen to sell a house.    For example: I listed a house on December 28, 2007 and between the 28th of December and the 22nd of January, I had 11 Showings and no offers. On Tuesday, January 22nd, I had the house inspected by Advantage Home Inspection and Common Cents Pest Control, and I asked the sellers if they would purchase an Advantage Home Warranty for a buyer, which of course they agreed. I am happy to say that between Wednesday, January 23rd and Sunday, January 27th I had eight more showings and I received an offer TWO days after inspection and had it accepted FOUR days after inspections.    And yes there is more: On January 18, 2008 I listed a home in Bonnie Brae Subdivision where the average days on market are currently 83 days. On Tuesday, January 29th, I had the house inspected by Advantage Home Inspection and Common Cents Pest Control, and I asked the sellers if they would purchase an Advantage Home Warranty for a buyer, which of course they agreed. I am happy to report that on February 7th, 2008 (19 Days after listing and 9 days after inspections, I was able to inform my sellers that their home is under ratified contract.    Doing Real Estate a different way than everyone else has proven to be a key strategy. In both examples above, I asked the buyer's agent why their buyers chose my listing over others and their answers were inevitably the same...."Because everything was already done." One agent even stated to me, "You took the hassle and frustration out of the transaction!"    Pre-Inspections JUST MAKE SENSE!    Thank you Advantage Inspection Thank you Advantage Home Warranty Thank you Common Cents pest Control For changing my business and the way I do Real Estate for me to better service my clients!    Sincerely, Matthew Thrift  "
