Pre-listing inspections! What state does the seller live in?

I think it makes a difference whether your inspectors are state licensed and inspect to state standards. If inspectors are licensed and all inspectors are inspecting to the state standards, a seller inspection may be a good idea.

I’m a broker in Texas where inspectors are licensed and inspect to state standards. Reports are fairly uniform.

But I’m also a broker in Colorado where inspectors are not licensed and every inspector has his own report form, and treats different issues in different ways.

So a Colorado seller could get a pre-listing inspection done by one inspector only to have the buyers’ inspector turn in a report that varies quite a bit from the one the seller had done.

So my recommendation to sellers depends on which state I’m working in.
