Advantages of having your home-for-sale inspected before listing it:

Inspecting your home first may prompt the buyer to waive his own inspection contingency. And even if he doesn't, a Seller Inspection means you won't be in for any surprises.

• Schedule your inspection at your own convenience, rather than accommodate a buyer and his inspector.

• Assist your inspector during the inspection, uncommon during a buyer's inspection.

• A Move-In Certified® Seller Inspection may alert you to any immediate concerns, such an electrical fire hazard or an active water leak.

• The Seller Inspection:

  • allows you to take the time to shop for competitively priced contractors to make repairs, rather than making rushed decisions to get things fixed in a hurry;

  • lets you attach repair estimates or paid invoices to the inspection report; and

  • removes over-inflated buyer-procured repair estimates from the negotiating table.

• Move-In Certified® yard signs, free from your InterNACHI inspector, will attract potential buyers touring homes in your neighborhood.

​

A Move-In Certified® Seller Inspection is the ultimate gesture in forthrightness on your part.

Other Distinct Advantages 

• You're given the opportunity to dispute any misstatements in the inspection report before it's distributed to real estate agents and prospective buyers.

• The report provides an unbiased, third-party, professional opinion about the condition of the home to potential buyers.

• The report may encourage the buyer to waive his own inspection contingency, so the deal is less likely to fall apart the way they often do when a buyer's inspection reveals unexpected problems at the last minute.

• The report can be hosted on www.FetchReport.com, which can be used as an effective marketing tool.

• The report can help you realistically price the home if problems exist.

• The report can help you substantiate a higher asking price if problems don't exist or have been corrected.

• The report may relieve a prospective buyer's unfounded suspicions and concerns before he walks away from an otherwise great deal.

• The report provides full-disclosure protection from future legal claims.
