The pre-listing home inspection services we provide sets your property listing apart from other South Florida properties for sale providing a lower risk option to serious buyers.

Why Pay for a Pre-listing Home Inspection?

A home inspection done before your home goes on the market with a strategic reporting process:

- Builds credibility and trust with prospective buyers
- The sale moves faster and more smoothly
- Avoids negative surprises and multiple negotiations
- Puts the seller in control of the real estate transaction from beginning to end
- A seller’s inspection is done offline
- There is time to get the report right, for second opinions, and further evaluation
- All can agree on the report before it’s sent to a prospective buyer
- Strategy to properly price home or fix issues and sell for more
- Agent wins more listings with a strategy
- Agent works with more buyers who request inspection report showing serious interest
- Less liability for seller and agents, no claim of failure to disclose known issues

What Happens if I just Let the Buyer Pay for the Home Inspection?

A lack of an advanced strategy causes:

Virtually all buyers get an inspection
Issues do come up that only the buyers are privy to
Buyers ask for a second price reduction after already negotiating the home
Some buyers can choose to misrepresent the findings to get a better deal
Sellers often are upset but feel stuck as they must negotiate to close on the sale
Major insurability issues can be discovered towards the end of the transaction

By encouraging pre-listing inspections, realtors win both the listing and the successful sale of the home. They avoid the home “failing” inspections. They also lower the liability of the seller and agents; heading off any claim of failure to disclose known issues.
