As home inspections become
more frequent and more popular, there is a growing trend towards the use of pre-listing inspections. In addition to buyers
requesting home inspections to identify potential problems and to increase peace of mind. Realtors and sellers are recognizing
the benefits of obtaining a pre-listing home inspection in order to identify and address potential deal-killing problems,
statistically it leads to less days on market.
The seller
can list the house with more confidence as to some of the concerns that may arise during a home inspection. By listing various
issues the purchaser will be making a more informed offer on the property and will be less likely to come back and renegotiate
disclosed items. This may also help purchasers to feel more at ease as to the seller's willingness to disclose.
