HOW CAN A PRE-SALE INSPECTION BENEFIT A SELLER??

Easier and more realistic pricing. A professional home inspection helps with pricing in two important ways.
    1. It allows you to see your home through the eyes of a critical third-party and increases objectivity. It helps you to price your home realistically.
    2. The inspection report reflects the current condition of the property – good, bad, or ugly. A seller can take that true condition into consideration and set the price lower accordingly.
Enhanced marketing impact. Prospective buyers are likely to find a pre-inspected home more attractive because the “what if” factor is not as great.
Greater negotiating leverage. Sellers discover any issues that might delay or derail the transaction and can make advance repairs, thus heading off potential price concessions sought by buyers. Even if repairs are not made, disclosing any defects upfront and pointing out that the price is adjusted accordingly can deflate buyer’s objections. You have the time to get reasonably priced contractors or make the repairs yourself, if qualified.
On going safety ensured. It may alert you of items of immediate personal concern, such as radon gas or active termite infestation. Alerting you to immediate safety issues before agents and visitors tour your home.
