Seller Inspections
In today’s market more and more sellers see the wisdom of having an inspection done on their home before it goes on the market. Here are some of the reasons:
- As the seller, you will know what the buyer’s inspection findings will be. You will be able to do something about these findings in advance.
- You have the option of fixing certain items or disclosing them to the buyer. Either way, you reduce or eliminate the possibility of a second round of negotiations that often come up because of the buyer’s inspection.
- A seller’s inspection enables you to “brag” about the positive attributes of your property. Upgrades are highlighted with photos in our inspection report.
- A seller’s inspection gives the buyer “peace of mind” before they make their offer. It also gives the seller credibility in the eyes of the buyer.
- Sometimes defects that could easily have been dealt with in advance by the seller permanently derail the transaction. For example, oil tanks, asbestos, mold, basement water issues.
- A seller’s inspection can help you differentiate your home from the competition:
- Put a “Certified, Pre-Inspected” sign on your property. Safe Harbor Inspections will provide this sign free of charge.
- Advertise the fact that your home is “Certified, Pre-Inspected” in your marketing materials and advertisements. It can even be posted on a web-site for easy and secure access for the buyer.
- At the time of the seller’s inspection, you will receive a verbal summary, on-site. Our photographic inspection report is easy to read and understand. It will be delivered via e-mail to you within 24 hours of the inspection.
- At no charge, Safe Harbor Inspections will provide a “Certified, Pre-Inspected” sign rider designed to hang on the bottom of the “For Sale” sign.
