Pre-Listing Home Inspection is necessary before listing your property on the market.<\/h1>\n

Why Should I Have A Salt Lake City Pre-Listing Home Inspection?<\/h2>\n

To avoid the unpleasant surprises a home inspection may bring to light, homeowners looking to put their house on the market can opt for a pre-listing home inspection. It provides sellers with a thorough report before the home goes on the market. Also, sellers will have the opportunity to make necessary repairs before potential buyers start touring the property. This way, you can prevent a deal from falling through due to structural or maintenance problems that could lead to other potential buyers steering clear of a property with issues.<\/p>\n

Even in a hot real estate market where buyers are snapping up available homes quickly, a pre-listing inspection get you closer to selling your home for the price you want in the time frame you need. Here are a few reasons you should consider a pre-listing home inspection before putting your house on the market.<\/p>\n

DIY option.<\/h3>\n

For simple repairs, the prelisting inspection gives you the added benefit of being able to take on projects yourself. When negotiating with a buyer, necessary repairs will typically require you to bring in professionals for all work done, even when the fixes are simple.
\nThere’s a lot of do-it-yourself projects that the homeowner can do where it’s satisfactory. It’s not going to be an issue. For example, if the buyer’s inspector recommends to replace an electrical outlet or resolve some simple plumbing issue, they will usually demand that a professional electrician or plumber repair them.
\nAn outlet replacement or tightening a washer on a faucet \u2013 both simple projects homeowners can do \u2013 could be a couple of hundred dollars for a pro to complete.<\/p>\n

Contractor of choice.<\/h3>\n

For those bigger projects that do require professionals to come out, time is also on your side when your home isn’t yet on the market. You can choose your contractor and have a little more time to get the work done.
\nRather than needing to find a roofer in a specific time frame to appease the buyer, you can shop around for the right price, availability and skill to ensure you’re satisfied with the work.<\/p>\n

“Mark Vinson completed a home inspection prior to closing. He was attentive. Listened to my concerns and made sure to address them in the report. His inspection was very thorough. The report was easy to read for a non-professional. I liked how he addressed concerns as safety issues or need for improvement. I felt I had a clear picture of the house prior to making a commitment.” – Review of Vinson Home Inspections By Dianna Boatman<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Informed pricing.<\/h3>\n

Of course, there are some projects you’re just not willing to take on. For one thing, you can no longer afford to fix a foundation issue with your house. Or, you don’t want to invest the money to replace a cracked tile in a bathroom. That is because you know a buyer will surely renovate it anyway. So, you don’t necessarily have to take care of the repairs. Instead, that can be reflected in the price.<\/p>\n

Buyer may accept results.<\/h3>\n

The fact that your house has already had an inspection can have its own appeal for buyers and can serve as a plus if included in marketing descriptions of the house. Especially in a tight seller’s market where buyers have to fiercely compete with each other, you may see more buyers willing to accept the pre-listing inspection report and forgo an additional inspection during the due diligence period, moving the process along faster.<\/p>\n
