Why a Home Seller’s Inspection?

The average home seller has probably owned the home for more than 5 years. Here are some of the important changes that have taken place over the past few years regarding the sale of a home:

1. Under North Carolina Law, a North Carolina Property Disclosure must be completed. The home owner must disclose all known problems in the home.
2. More Buyers are now obtaining a Home Inspector to give a full report of any concerns regarding their new home. The home inspector is hired by the Buyer and usually does the home inspection after a deal has been made to buy the home.

NOW FOR THE SURPRISES!!!!!!!!

Once the home inspection is completed, any problems found in the home are now uncovered. The Buyer will then:

1. Ask for money from the Seller to have the problems corrected
2. Become scared and change their mind about buying your home
3. Terminate the Contract!!!

Now the Home Seller is back at the beginning of the process, with a home on the market and no buyer.

Why wait for problems in your home to be uncovered by a Buyer?

A Home Seller can have a home inspection at the time the home goes on the market. This will enable the Seller to correct any problems with the home using his choice of contractors. This gives the Seller many important advantages:

1. No renegotiations regarding the sale of the home because of repair issues.
2. Buyers feel good about a home that has already been inspected and is in good repair.
3. Home Seller does not have to deal with inflated repair estimates at the closing table.
4. No more broken deals because of surprise defects.
5. The Seller’s Inspection provides additional disclosure to the Buyer and can help protect the Seller.

Selling a house is easier with a Seller’s Inspection
If defects or problems are found, the Seller has time to correct these problems before Buyers come to visit the home. The defects can be corrected before they become an issue in the sales process. The home inspector can return to the home after corrections are made and a clean inspection report provided. Even if the Buyer chooses to have their own inspection done before purchase, no major problems should be found by the second inspection.
