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!  Have a Nickelsen Home Inspection done before you list your house!  Did you know that we do home inspections in Seattle, Washington?  -------------------- Real Estate ProfessionalsThe Trust of Your Client, A Professional Referral As real estate professionals, from lenders to realtors and appraisers to brokers, your clients rely on your expert help in making real estate decisions.  Often you are asked to recommend an inspection firm for the purchase of a home.When the question inevitably comes, make that referral local, make it personal and make it a company that you can trust to offer your client peace of mind—refer them to one of the professionals at Nickelsen Home Inspections, LLC.  When referred by you, we know that we serve as a reflection of your expertise—a fact that we take very seriously.  Be confident that we will work to make sure that “reflection” is a good one!A Conduit for Educated Real Estate TransactionsBased out of the Vancouver/Camas area in Clark County, Washington, and serving SW Washington “from the mountains to the coast”, Nickelsen Home Inspections, LLC is there to serve as a conduit for educated real estate purchases.  With computer generated reports, featuring Palm Tech technology and digital pictures upon request, your clients will be left with tools to make informed decisions and they will thank you for recommending them to the best: a Nickelsen Home Inspections professional.We don’t speak Greek, and neither do most clients.  While professional, our reports are presented in an easy to read and understandable format—reports that we will personally go over with the client on site.And with all of that, we are still able to finish our inspections in a timely fashion, typically taking two hours to complete the entire process.Flexible, AvailableThough we perform hundreds of inspections a year, our schedule is always flexible and we are available, more often than not, for those last minute requests and re-inspections in time for closing.
