Sell Smarter: Pre‑Listing Inspections That Put You in Control

Know your home’s true condition before buyers do—reduce surprises, protect your price, and make selling stress‑free

Pre-Listing Home

Inspection Pkgs & What to Expect

Why Pre‑Listing Inspections Matter

Why Sellers Love Pre‑Listing Inspections

When you list your home, the buyer’s inspector will look closely at everything. If they uncover issues late in the process, it often leads to last‑minute negotiations, delays, or repair demands. A pre‑listing inspection flips the script—giving you clarity before you go to market. You’ll know what to disclose, what to fix, and how to price confidently.

Key Benefits:

  1. Avoid surprises: Uncover issues now, not during buyer negotiations.

  2. Price with confidence: Align your list price with the home’s current condition.

  3. Build trust with buyers: Transparency accelerates offers and reduces friction.

  4. Faster transactions: Fewer inspection objections mean cleaner contracts.

What We Inspect

A Thorough, Seller‑Focused Assessment

Our certified inspectors evaluate the same major systems a buyer’s inspector will, so you can anticipate and address findings proactively:

  • Exterior: Roof covering, gutters, siding, grading, drainage, walkways, driveway

  • Structure: Visible foundation components, framing, attic structure

  • Interior: Walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, stairs, railings

  • Plumbing: Fixtures, visible supply lines and drains, water heater

  • Electrical: Service panel, wiring (visible), outlets, switches, GFCI/AFCI checks

  • HVAC: Heating and cooling operation, thermostat, accessible ductwork

  • Safety items: Smoke/CO detectors, handrails, trip hazards, basic life‑safety notes

Actionable Guidance (Not Just a Report)​

A great pre‑listing inspection isn’t just data—it’s strategy. Alongside your report, we provide:

  • Repair Priority List: Items ranked Critical → Recommended → Cosmetic

  • “Fix or Not?” Guidance: Cost/benefit notes for each item to help you decide whether to repair, disclose, or adjust pricing

  • Trusted Referrals: Curated local pros for common repairs (roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, handyman)

  • Seller’s Binder: A simple, organized packet with your report, receipts/photos of repairs, disclosures, and staging/maintenance tips—so you’re ready for showings and negotiations
