Pre-listing Inspection

If you are selling a home, you'll get the highest price in the shortest time, if your home is in top condition. And you'll want to find out about any hidden problems before your house goes on the market. Almost all sales contracts include the condition that the contract is contingent upon completion of a satisfactory inspection. This is known as the "inspection contingency." Buyers will insist on a professional home inspection performed by an inspector they will hire. If the buyer's inspector finds a problem, it can cause the buyer to get cold feet and the deal can often fall through. At best, surprise problems uncovered by the buyer's inspector could cause delays in closing, and usually you will have to pay for repairs at the last minute, or negotiate for a lower price on your home.

In short, it's wise to have a "pre-listing" inspection conducted before putting your home on the market. It will make the entire sales process go easier. You will find out about any hidden problems, and you will be able to have them corrected in advance, on your own terms. To do otherwise might mean that the buyer's inspector finds them at the worst possible time . . . causing delays and costing you money. 

Simply put, RK Home Inspection Services can help to provide you with the knowledge, assurance, and peace of mind that comes from knowing your home is truly ready for listing and sale.

We would also point out that having a "pre-listing" inspection helps in many other ways:

• + It allows you to see your home through the eyes of a critical and impartial third-party
• + It helps you to price your home realistically
• + It permits you to make repairs so that defects won't block negotiations
• + It gives you time to find a qualified and reasonably priced professional (for any repairs)
• + It may encourage the buyer to waive the inspection contingency
• + It may alert you to items of immediate concern, such as a health and/or safety issues
• + It may relieve a good prospect's concerns
• + It may reduce potential liability by adding documentation to your disclosure statement
