A Sellers Inspection gives you an advantage
Todays real estate market is a challenging one for sellers. Buyers have many homes to choose from and expect the home they purchase to be in great shape. If you're in the process of selling your home, at some point the buyer is going to get a home inspection. The buyer will then use the inspection report as a negoitating tool against you. Why give the buyer the upper hand in the negoitating process. Schedule an inspection yourself and use it as a marketing tool to get top dollar for your home. By taking the intiative you place you and your home in the best possible position at the negoitating table. Before you even get to the negoitating table, a sellers inspection will address many concerns which will make your home more appealing to potential buyers and their agents.
• Including an inspection report as part of your real estate listing shows your house is in good, or better condition and is a great marketing tool which distinguishes your house from competing properties. It will attract buyers as well as Realtors to your home. •Including a sellers inspection as part of a "For Sale by Owner's" blog enhances credibility with a professional unbiased opinion about the property. • Having an unbiased, well documented report disclosing the homes condition builds trust about you and your property. Trust is a key element in any transaction. Trust contributes to buyers feeling more comfortable about moving forward with signing a contract. • Having an inspection done prior to receiving a sales contract allows you the choice of fixing any deficiencies that could become stumbling blocks at the negotiating table. • The price concessions buyers ask for are usually based on inflated repair estimates. The information contained in the inspection report provides you the flexibility to make repairs at your convenience and at more reasonable prices. • If you choose not to make repairs, disclosing them up front and showing that the price has been adjusted accordingly can deflate buyers objections. • A sellers inspection can help justify and support a higher asking price than competing properties if deficiencies don't exist or have been corrected. • Having professional documentation to support the information in your disclosure statement reduces your liability should a post sale legal issue come up.

One of the biggest concerns we all face as home buyers is "what condition is the home in...are we going to be surprised with any expensive repairs after we move in ?" This question can be a big hurdle when we are about to make the largest investment of our life. Sellers who answer this question up front with a sellers inspection build trust and place prospective buyers at ease, allowing them to more easily proceed towards the purchase of your property. ___________________________________________ Thank you for choosing Trebor Home Inspections ___________________________________________
