🏷️ Pre-Listing Home Inspections for Sellers

💡 What Is a Pre-Listing Home Inspection?

​

A Pre-Listing Inspection (also known as a seller’s inspection) is a full home inspection performed before you list your property for sale. It’s the same comprehensive review a buyer would receive—only you get the information first.

This allows you to:

• Uncover potential issues early

• Make repairs before showings

• Set a fair and realistic asking price

• Increase buyer confidence

• Avoid last-minute surprises or deal breakers

​

🧰 What’s Included in a Seller’s Inspection?

​

We inspect the home top-to-bottom, just like we would for a buyer. You’ll receive a detailed digital report that includes:

• ✅ Roof, attic, and gutters

• ✅ Foundation and structure

• ✅ Plumbing and water systems

• ✅ Electrical panel, outlets, and fixtures

• ✅ HVAC systems

• ✅ Windows, doors, and insulation

• ✅ Built-in appliances

• ✅ Signs of mold, water intrusion, or safety issues

​

You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of your home’s condition—plus photos, explanations, and recommendations for next steps.

🏡 Benefits of a Pre-Listing Inspection

​

🔧 Fix Issues on Your Terms- 

No one likes a surprise in escrow. Identify and resolve problems before they’re used against you in negotiations.

 

💵 Price Your Home Accurately- 

Use the inspection to support a realistic listing price—and reduce buyer doubts.

 

💬 Build Buyer Trust- 

A recent inspection report shows transparency and professionalism. It may even eliminate a buyer’s need to schedule their own.

 

🚀 Speed Up the Sale Process- 

No more scrambling during escrow. A clean report can help prevent delays, re-negotiations, or falling out of contract.
