Pre-Listing Home Inspections

Take the guesswork out of selling a home. A professional home pre-inspection identifies potential issues before they delay the closing or cause prospective buyers to walk away.

The Benefits of a Pre-Listing Home Inspection

As you prepare to list your home, pre-inspection services will identify potential issues—big and small—that impact the home's value and complicate the transaction.
Your local HouseMaster inspector will conduct a detailed inspection of the property and deliver a report detailing the extent issues that could affect the sale or price.
You’ll also receive specific recommendations for repairs to address before your home hits the market, or for the buyer to be aware of if selling “as is.”

FAQ About a Pre-Listing Home Inspection

Pre-listing inspections aren't required, but there are advantages to having your home inspected before putting it on the market. A pre-listing home inspection establishes a more accurate listing price, makes your listing more attractive by providing more information, and reduces the risk of prospective buyers walking away from the sale after an offer has already been accepted.
We recommend scheduling your house inspection if you are thinking about selling your home or once you're sure you want to sell your home. Try to get the inspection done immediately to plan out which, if any, repairs to undertake and give yourself time to complete them. Establishing this timeline will ensure your house hits the market when it works for you and your family or meets seasonal demand fluctuations.
By absorbing home inspections costs up-front, sellers make their property more attractive to prospective buyers. The money you spend on a home inspection saves time and streamlines the closing process.
