Pre-Listing Inspection

Why do I need a Pre-Listing Inspection? Most buyers are going to conduct a home inspection prior to purchasing your home.  A Musselman Pre-Listing Inspection gives you peace of mind that you are ready for any defect a buyer’s home inspection might find. Oftentimes, our Pre-Listing Inspections lead sellers to make repairs before the buyer’s inspection is even performed, potentially adding to the overall resale value of your home.

Here are some more helpful reasons you might consider a Musselman Pre-Listing Inspection before you place your home on the market.

• It allows you to see your home through the eyes of a critical third-party. It helps you to price your home realistically.
• It permits you to make repairs ahead of time so that … Defects won’t become negotiating stumbling blocks later.
• There is no delay in obtaining the Use and Occupancy permit.
• 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 may alert you of items of immediate personal concern, such as radon gas or active termite infestation.
• It may relieve prospect’s concerns and suspicions.

We also recommend that copies of the Pre-Listing Inspection report, along with receipts for any repairs you’ve made a as a result, should be made available to potential buyers. This courtesy often gives buyers a sense of confidence in their purchase, knowing that you’ve done everything in your power to assure the home is safe for the next family.
