Pre-Purchase/Pre-Listing Inspection
The typical home selling and buying transaction includes the buyer having a home inspector come into the home on the buyer’s behalf. The buyer and the inspector leave your home with more information and knowledge than the homeowner and listing agent regarding the current condition of the home.
Advantages of having a Pre-List Inspection on a home you’re selling:
-
You’re being pro-active and not reactive.
-
You gain valuable information first regarding the current condition of your home.
-
You eliminate the “shock value” of having someone else tell you the condition of your home.
-
The report can help the seller and listing agent realistically price the house.
-
The seller may wish to attach paid invoices for repairs made for the buyer to view. This can and may reduce some of the buyer’s anxiety and suspicions.
-
The report can give you insight on some areas you may wish to upgrade.
-
It shows the potential buyer that you are acting in good faith rather than receiving the buyer’s inspection report and saying “I didn’t know anything about that.”
-
Spending a few hundred dollars upfront on repairs can and may save a homeowner thousands when repairs are negotiated by the buyer to reduce the sales price of your home due to needed repairs. (Generally negotiated repairs are valued at inflated prices.)

Radon Gas Test
Radon is a cancer-causing radioactive gas. You can’t see it, smell it, or taste it, but radon is estimated to cause well over 20,000 deaths each year (more deaths than drunk driving). If you are buying a home or selling your home, have it tested for radon. For a new home, ask if radon-resistant construction features were used and if the home has been tested.
