When selling a home, you’ll get the best price in the shortest time, if your home is in move in condition or the condition of the home is known before listing property. We at First Look Home Inspect will find out about any hidden concerns before your house goes on the market. Almost all sales contracts have the contingency of a Home Inspection.

If the buyer’s inspector finds many problems, it can cause cold feet and the deal can fall through or put the buyer in a better position to negotiate the selling price down. At best, surprise problems uncovered by the buyers inspector will cause delays in closing, and usually you will have to pay for rush repair charges, or take a lower price on your home.

One of the key benefits of having the inspection done before it’s listed, is that if there are any problems discovered that need to be repaired, you can have the repairs done on your own terms, on your own schedule. When a problem isn’t found until the buyer has an inspection performed, the deal you’ve worked so hard to get done may fall apart. You may have to take a lower price, in order to keep the deal moving. In either case, you’ll almost certainly have more headaches, and spend more money, than if you would have known about the problem and had it repaired before negotiations began.

You could save thousands by simply being able to shop around and get competitive bids from contractors, rather than being forced into paying for a rush job at the last minute.
