We know that a home Inspection for a buyer is a smart idea and often can turn up issues that even the seller may not be aware of. However, an equally smart move is for the seller to have a pre-sale home inspection done prior to putting their property on the market. This small expense can be the difference between your home selling or having the transaction not close after the buyers inspection. The other sound reason for this inspection, is that buyers will sometimes use a problem in the inspection report as a means to re-negotiate the purchase price. Simple tests, such as water purity and radon test can be done by the homeowner themselves. If other problems become evident during the pre-inspection, homeowners can correct them using their own service people, quite often for far less money than estimates that buyers may bring forward. By doing these pre-inspections, sellers can go into the selling of their homes with a high degree of confidence and a far greater chance of being able to move on with their future plans.
