Pre-listing home inspections

Find the Issues Before Buyers Do

A pre-listing inspection helps sellers identify visible property concerns before going on the market, so you can price smarter, prepare better, and reduce surprises during the buyer’s inspection period.

The Worst Time to Find Out About Repairs Is After You're Under Contract

Once a buyer is under contract, their inspection can quickly become a negotiation tool. Even minor issues can create fear, delays, repair requests, price reductions, or, in some cases, a canceled deal.

Surprise Repair Requests

Buyers may ask for repairs or credits after their inspection.

Lost Negotiating Power

Unknown issues can weaken your position once you’re already under contract.

Delayed Closing

Inspection findings can slow down negotiations, repairs, appraisals, and closing timelines.

Buyer Cold Feet

Unexpected issues can make buyers nervous, even when the home is still a good property.

What's Included in a Pre-Listing Inspection

We inspect the major visible systems and components of the home so you can better understand the property before going live.

Roof & Exterior

Roofing, siding, windows, doors, grading, drainage, decks, porches, and exterior concerns.

Foundation & Structure

Visible foundation, framing, crawlspace, basement, attic structure, and signs of visible movement or damage.

Panels, outlets, fixtures, GFCI protection, grounding, and visible safety concerns.

Interior & Appliances

Walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, cabinets, and built-in appliances.

Repair It, Disclose It, or Price Around It

Not every issue needs to be fixed before listing. The value of a pre-listing inspection is that it gives you options. Once you know what is going on, you can decide what repairs are worth making, what should simply be disclosed, and what should be factored into your pricing strategy.

Repair It

Handle important repairs before listing to reduce objections and improve buyer confidence.

Disclose It

Be upfront about known issues so buyers are not surprised later in the process.

Price Around It

Use the information to support a realistic pricing strategy if repairs are not worth completing upfront.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions from sellers and listing agents.

Is a pre-listing inspection required?

No. It is optional, but it can help sellers identify concerns before buyers do.

Will buyers still get their own inspection?

Most buyers still choose to get their own inspection. A pre-listing inspection does not replace the buyer’s due diligence, but it can reduce surprises.

Should I fix everything in the report?

Not always. Some items may be worth repairing, while others may be better disclosed or factored into pricing. Discuss strategy with your real estate agent.

Can this help my home sell faster?

It can help reduce inspection surprises and build buyer confidence, but it does not guarantee a faster sale.

Can I share the report with buyers?

That depends on your listing strategy and disclosure requirements. Many sellers and agents use the report as a transparency tool, but you should discuss this with your agent.

What if the inspection finds something major?

That is exactly why you do it before listing. Finding out early gives you time to make a plan instead of reacting under contract pressure.
