What is a Pre-Listing Home Inspection?
A high quality professional home inspection is performed for the seller.
The seller is presented with a complete inspection report, and has an opportunity to correct any deficiencies, or, leave the the home as is.
The seller’s agent shares the inspection report with potential buyers.
Because important conditions are disclosed to potential buyers before they make offers on the property, it’s difficult for the buyer to renegotiate on items they’ve already been made aware of.
The sale of the home can happen faster because there was more transparency around the home’s systems and conditions!
“By providing important information and building trust between all parties, I definitely feel that a home that’s already been pre-inspected is more likely to produce a favourable sale outcome.”

Benefits of a Pre-Listing Inspection
1. Faster Sale
By removing questions, concerns & barriers, a seller’s inspection helps make the transaction go forward smoothly and a faster sale is more likely.
2. Full disclosure to the buyer
A pre-listing inspection provides clarity and builds trust between the buyer and seller. The report is done in a neutral, unbiased manner.
3. Foresight reduces stress
Early findings provide visibility to all parties so you don’t have to worry about what the buyer may find. Everyone’s already aware of the conditions in the home.
Expected outcomes:
✓ Attract more buyers
✓ Command a higher selling price
✓ Encourage a faster transaction
“You can’t realistically renegotiate for something you already knew about.”
