Pre-Listing Inspection Is A Good Idea

Before putting your home on the market, it can be a good idea to have a professional home inspector perform an inspection on your home.  It’s preferred that the inspector you hire to perform the inspection is a member of ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors) or NIBI (National Institute of Building Inspectors).  Whether a buyer is purchasing their first home or their fifth, it is extremely likely they will make their offer contingent on an acceptable home inspection.

By completing this pre-listing inspection, you can address the issues that the home inspector may note during his inspection.  Make sure that the home inspector who does the pre-listing inspection will provide you with a detailed report and pictures relating to anything they note in their report.

There are other inspections to consider before selling a home as well.  Here are several other inspections that a buyer could possibly make their offer contingent upon and to consider performing prior to selling a home.
