Sellers
Pre-Listing Inspection
WHY should I have my home Inspected?
Prudent purchasers will have your property
thoroughly inspected before they buy it. Their inspection
will look into everything -- your house's roof, chimney,
gutters, plumbing, electrical wiring, heating and cooling
systems, the basement and supporting structure, landscaping/grading
and all the appliances and fixtures in your kitchen and
bathrooms.
By conducting a Sellers Inspection the
following benefits will be realised:
It allows you to see your home through
the eyes of a critical third-party.
It helps you to price your home realistically in the marketplace.
It permits you to make repairs ahead of time.
You have the time to get reasonably priced contractors,
or make the repairs yourself, if qualified.
It may encourage the buyer to waive the inspection contingency.
It reduces your liability by adding professional supporting
documentation to your disclosure statement.
It will alert you to immediate safety issues before agents
and visitors tour your home.
It allows you to be pro-active rather than re-active, for
example;
Suppose that your house needs a new
roof. The problem is there whether you know about it or
not so why wait passively for an ultimatum to fix the roof
or have the buyer try to negotiate a price reduction, and
of course the buyer always errs on the high side as to replacement
cost. Being pro-active will save you money!!!
Have a copy of the inspection report
along with receipts for any repairs and make them available
to potential buyers and agents to see.
Professional home inspectors can help
you spot minor defects, such as dirty filters in the heating
system; ventilation problems in the basement, garage, or
crawl space; blocked gutters; loose doorknobs; stuck windows;
a missing chimney hood or spark arrester, and so on. Eliminating
maintenance problems like these gives prospective buyers
and agents who tour the property a favourable, and a correct,
impression that your house is extremely well-maintained.
Your negotiating position is much stronger
if you have fixed problems in advance.
Some buyers will not consider your house if they think it
needs a great deal of repair work and some buyers will try
to negotiate every little detail to reduce the purchase
price so let us help to minimise these possibilities and
make your home sale a pleasant and stress free experience.
Please, call us now and
we will help you to get the best price for your investment.
