How can you best prepare for your upcoming home inspection? In today’s post, I’ll address this question for the home sellers in our market.

One way to prepare, especially with today’s stringent requirements, is to order a pre-listing inspection. This will give you an exact replica of what the buyer’s inspector will eventually find out in their general inspection. During a pre-listing inspection, you might find out things about your home that you haven’t thought about, looked into, or noticed before.

A pre-listing inspector typically works for a lower rate than a general inspector, but you’ll still get all the details about what needs to be addressed in your home before you sell it. If you have this pre-inspection done, you won’t be worried about what the buyer’s inspector will find during the process, thereby reducing the overall stress of the home-selling process.
