The Top Reason Deals Fall Through Graph

By
Real Estate Agent with PHP Houses SL3302417

If one simple step could help you avoid the number one deal killer in today’s market, would you do it?

Because here’s the thing. More deals are falling through right now, and it’s not for the reason most people think.

70% of agents say inspections are the top reason buyers back out. Not financing. Not rates. Repairs.

There’s a way you can prevent that from becoming an issue for your sale. It’s called a pre-listing inspection. While it’s not required, it can help you find (and fix) issues before you list.

But whether it’s worth it (or not) really depends on the conditions in your local market. Let’s talk about whether it makes sense for your house and market.

Hello Walter, this is a powerful insight into the leading cause of deals falling through! It’s critical for sellers to understand that the number one deal killer isn't financing, but repairs discovered during the home inspection, which 70% of agents cite. Highlighting the value of a pre-listing inspection is the perfect proactive advice for sellers in the Lake Mary and Orlando markets, empowering them to find and fix issues before they derail the sale. Excellent tip for securing the closing!
