NEED TO SELL A HOME QUICK? AVOID THESE 3 COMMON HOME INSPECTION HANGUPS header image.

It’s a standard practice for homebuyers to schedule home inspections prior to proceeding with a real estate transaction. If an issue arises as a result of the home inspection, there might be delays in the sale of the property or worse - the buyer may back out of the sale. 

You can avoid such situations by taking these steps to make sure your home is better prepared for an inspection. 


1. Pre-Sale Inspections can help your property sell Faster

While it’s not required to schedule a home inspection as the seller, doing so can benefit you. This is an opportunity for you to learn what the inspection will reveal about major home components such as electrical, HVAC, etc. Sometimes these inspections can reveal issues you previously didn't know about, so we can fix those problems before they affect the sale of your home!

 

2. Roof Inspection Prep

Roof issues are common problems for sellers trying to list their homes in. An old roof that looks weak can even affect your home’s appraised value. Even if your roof is fairly new, an inspection can uncover damage that might have escaped your attention. Since a home inspector will be more experienced in identifying roof issues, scheduling an inspection can help you eliminate the surprise of needing repairs.

 

3. Pest Inspection Prep

We can have a pest control contractor inspect your property before listing it for sale. They can help us look for signs of infestations, and they can treat the property to get rid of unwanted pests. In particular, we’ll want to look for wood-burrowing insects that could otherwise destroy parts of your home’s frame.

 

Our team will help you with all of these preparations for your property to go on the Market! We are partnered with some of the best home inspection companies in the Tri-County area who also offer bundle packages that include these top 3 inspections.
