Thus the boomlet in homeowners hiring inspectors before they put their homes on the market,” the article said. Why the sudden surge?   “The major motivation is to head off demands for costly price reductions from buyers. It’s cheaper to fix it than to negotiate the price down…” Does it help the homes sell?   Liz Moore, a broker in Newport News, Virginia says that “It’s fair to say that [pre-listing home inspections are] the reason our listings sell 30% faster than the market average,” and that inspected houses “consistently sell for a few thousand dollars more” {1}. What you can’t see, or don’t understand… can hurt you…  When you decide to sell your home you need to know what things may be brought to the table when a home inspection is inevitably done for the buyer.   Besides the obvious fact that most home owners don’t venture into crawl spaces or attics, and probably wouldn’t know what to look for if they did, serious problems may be present in your home that you are unaware of… Problems that may take your time and your money when a potential buyer comes along and their home inspector finds them. Find and solve the problems before hand! Save your time, save your money and do what you can to make sure that the sale of your home goes through smoothly!
