getting an inspection before listing your home

Packing, getting ready for open houses, and dealing with all the paperwork—selling your home is an exciting but fast-moving whirlwind. Well, we all want to make it easier! As it turns out, getting an inspection before listing your home is one of the best strategies to help you succeed.

Improving First Impressions

When you tour a home, first impressions make all the difference. They’re what can make you fall in—or out—of love with a house. By getting an inspection before listing your home, you can locate and fix problem areas. That way, potential buyers will see your wonderful house in its best possible light.

Seeing through a New Set of Eyes

You’ve made amazing memories in your home! It’s natural that you might not see the smaller repairs that need completion. Having someone see your house through a new set of eyes can help you best prepare your home for the market.

Keeping It All up to Code

Your home needs to be up to code! An inspection will ensure that it is!

Maximizing Profits

You’d be surprised just how easily an inspection can help you maximize your profits. Completing your repairs will increase the value of your home—and how much you will earn from selling it too.

Thinking Ahead

During the selling process, you’ll have to provide information about your home—and potential repairs. Dealing with an inspection beforehand means that you can address potential roadblocks before they occur. You can also show buyers these records in case they have any requests or questions. Thinking ahead always pays off!
