Sometimes properties are inspected before they're listed and shown. A Seller
Inspection is sometimes called a pre-listing inspection. In most cases,
the seller buys and pays for the inspection.
Key Benefits
Compliance with full disclosure laws
Pre-determine any problems, defects and safety hazards and repair them
prior to showing
Avoid unpleasant lawsuits after the sale
Description
The Seller Inspection is a thorough, in-depth visual examination of
the structure and operating components of the home, performed by trained
professionals. A trained inspector will be at your home for 2 to 3 hours.
And you're invited to follow the inspector step by step. We want you to
come along and see for yourself. Ask lots of questions. We expect
it. When the inspection is over, the inspector will prepare a 33 page
bound Property Inspection
Report that gives easy-to-read details which the
inspector will review with you.
