Home Sellers - Why you should hire a professional inspector before you list?

Simply said, if you are selling a home, you'll get the highest price in the shortest time, if your home is in top condition. What better way is there to find out the true condition of your home than to hire a professional home inspector before listing the home for sale?  Money spent to hire a home inspector is money invested in a higher profit when the home is sold.

There is no requirement to hire a home inspector, and once you do, you must provide disclosure of the inspection and known problems in the home to the buyer.  You can even sell the home in an “as is” condition by disclosing the conditions, and reflecting their cost through adjustments in the purchase price.  However, the buyer is still going to hire his or her own home inspector and problems will arise that may kill the deal or cause delays that cost you money and impact your plans to move when time is critical.  The process of selling you home, shopping for another, packing and moving is stressful enough, without the hassle of negotiations with the buyer to lower the sale price or to perform repairs.  You want to sell the home in a short time and for the highest sale price possible, while the buyer wants to move in without surprises and without the need to perform added repairs.

By hiring a home inspector yourself early in the sale process, you can identify problems that will found by the buyer’s inspector and can establish a budget to perform repairs before the issues cause concern.  You can take your time in choosing which problems are worth repairing or upgrading for maximum return, and you can choose your own contractor without worrying about a busy schedule or closing date.

You have most likely seen television shows such as “Sell This Home,” or “Flip This House.”  Their overall objectives are to spend as little as possible to fix up the home and to make it attractive to a prospective buyer for maximum gain.
