Be Ahead of the Game

Having your home inspected by a NACHI inspector before you list is now recommended. Eventually your buyers are going to conduct a home inspection. You may as well know what they are going to find by getting there first.

Also, having a "Move-In Certified" home inspection performed ahead of time helps in many other ways:

• 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 time is on YOUR side and:
  • 1. Defects won't become negotiating stumbling blocks later
  • 2. Major concerns can be dealt with in a timely fashion
  • 3. 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 safety hazards or surprise defects that need attention
• It may relieve prospect's concerns and suspicions
• It reduces your liability by adding professional sup[porting documentation to your disclosure statement
• It may alert you to immediate safety issues before agents and visitors tour your home
