Sell on Your Terms

A pre-listing inspection puts you in control of the sales process. Discover issues before buyers do, fix them on your schedule, and go to market with confidence — and a cleaner deal.

Why Smart Sellers Get Inspected First

Most sellers discover problems the hard way — when a buyer's inspector finds them during the contract period, and suddenly you're negotiating from a position of weakness. A pre-listing inspection flips that dynamic completely.

1
Fix Issues on Your Schedule

Get quotes, choose your contractor, and make repairs at your pace — not under the pressure of a closing deadline.

2
Price With Confidence

Know exactly what your home is worth in its current condition. No surprises means no forced price drops at inspection.

3
Fewer Deals Fall Through

Inspection-period blowups kill transactions. Remove that risk before it happens by disclosing known issues upfront.

4
Faster, Cleaner Closings

Buyers and their agents are more confident making offers on a home with a recent inspection on file. Less back-and-forth, faster close.

What's Included

A pre-listing inspection is the same comprehensive inspection we perform for buyers — full top-to-bottom evaluation of every major system. You receive the same detailed photo-rich report, which you can share with prospective buyers as a transparency and marketing tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to disclose the report to buyers?
Disclosure requirements vary — discuss this with your real estate agent and legal counsel. Many sellers choose to share the report proactively as a marketing advantage, demonstrating transparency and reducing buyer hesitation.
What if the inspection finds something significant?
That's the point — it's far better to find it now, when you have time and options. You can fix the issue, price the home to reflect it, or disclose and let the market factor it in. Any of those scenarios beats having a buyer discover it mid-contract.
Does a pre-listing inspection replace the buyer's inspection?
No — buyers will almost always get their own inspection. But a recent pre-listing inspection on file typically results in fewer surprises, less negotiation, and a smoother transaction for everyone. It's not a substitute; it's a head start.
