With many choices out there for buyers to choose from sellers need to make sure their home stands out from the rest. Give a buyer a reason to want to look at your home. One way to do this; have a home inspection done prior to putting your home on the market.
A lot of times there are thngs you may not have noticed that you could get fixed prior to listing your home or adjust the price of your home accordingly. I have never sold a home; be it resale or new constrction that there has not been something wrong with the home.
One way to help allievate a buyers hestiation about your home is to have it pre-inspected. This will give both you and the buyer some additional peace of mind. For one, you will be able to know what is wrong with the house before it goes on the market. It allows you to do the minor repairs that may be needed to make your home more marketable or adjust the price if there are things found you were unaware of.
For buyers, by having the listing agent post the copy of the home inspection and informing the buyer that the home has been inspected and repaired it will give the buyer added peace of mind and knowledge of what was wrong with the house and what was repaired.
When a buyer is comparing your home to other homes that added peace of mind can help the buyer decide more toward your home. It will help them know how the home was maintained and that the reparis are done.
In this competititve market; as a seller you need any and all advantages you can take. If the small amount you pay to have an inspection done returns you a buyer sooner rather than later you can see substantial savings if you are lowering your monthly mortgage payment or the savings you will recoup by not having to lower your asking price to attract a buyer....
