FAQ's
Learn More About Pre-Listing Inspections
1. What is a pre-listing inspection?
A pre-listing inspection is a professional home inspection conducted before you put your property on the market. It helps identify potential issues early, giving you time to make repairs or adjust your listing strategy before buyers see the home.
2. Why should I get a pre-listing inspection?
A pre-listing inspection gives you control of the selling process. By understanding your home’s condition ahead of time, you can prevent surprises, build buyer confidence, and reduce the chance of last-minute renegotiations or delays during closing.
3. Do I need to fix everything found in the report?
Not necessarily. The inspection helps you prioritize which issues to address. Some sellers choose to make key repairs, while others disclose the findings or adjust pricing accordingly. The goal is to go into negotiations fully informed.
4. How long does a pre-listing inspection take?
Most inspections take 2–3 hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of your home. You’ll receive a detailed digital report within 24 hours of the inspection.
5. Can buyers use my pre-listing inspection report?
Yes. Sharing your report demonstrates transparency and may increase buyer trust. Many sellers find that it helps speed up the process and reduce the likelihood of a buyer ordering an additional inspection.
