A pre-purchase home inspection is a thorough examination of a home. Certified Professional Inspector Scott A. Bridges, will carefully inspect all aspects of the home, and provide a well-written report, describing what defects or observations were discovered, and recommendations on how to address them. Having a pre-purchase inspection performed, can also make it easier for a client to get an estimate on the repair costs, which will aide in negotaitions.
Pre-listing Home Inspection
A pre-listing home inspection informs the seller or listing agent on the current condition of the property. It helps in uncovering any problems or conditions that may affect the sale of the home. Presenting the prospective buyer with the pre-listing home inspection report can show them that either the defects have been fixed or that you have took the listed defects into account when coming up with the current asking price. This can make the deal go smoothly and help avoid unnecessary delays.
