Pre-Listing Home Inspection for SellersWhat if we uncover a problem?

Doing a pre-Listing home inspection for sellers helps determine what is included in a cursory home inspection. We can uncover any significant defects which might affect the salability of the house. Pre-listing inspectors can find problems such as evidence of structural damage or water penetration. These cannot be properly evaluated during a cursory inspection. Knowing gives you options and avoids delays in the selling process. You can further investigate repair options, or you can also choose to disclose to a potential purchaser. This information also provides great insight during considerations regarding the market value of a home. Our Lake Area Home Inspection Team in Calumet City, Illinois can provide these insights.

Will a Pre-Listing Home Inspection help me sell my home faster?

Seller’s marketing inspections can also be a plus for a potential purchaser of a home. As a purchaser of a home, it is wise to request old reports on a home being considered for purchase. Recent pre-sale inspections provide information on the condition of the building’s foundation, roof, structure, and mechanical equipment. The potential purchaser can properly assess whether the condition of the home is acceptable and what sort of offer is reasonable. This saves time and aggravation which might be caused by surprises during the purchaser’s inspections.

The seller’s inspection does not take the place of the purchasers having their own inspection performed.

We were able to schedule quickly. Kyle was prompt (actually early), very professional, thorough and explained his process and his findings. He was very responsive to my follow-up questions. We would highly recommend Kyle for your inspection needs.

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Kyle is definitely a professional. From start to finish, he kept me informed on his findings throughout the house, showed me pictures, and gave me recommendations on how to remedy any potential issues. Even hours after the inspection was finished, I sent Kyle a message with some additional questions. He responded right away and gave his honest feedback. I would HIGHLY recommend Kyle to anyone looking for a great inspector that is diligent and honest. Thank you again for all of your help!

I've hired Kyle for 2 home inspections in the past year. Both times he was professional, easy to work with, and provided very detailed inspections and easy to follow reports afterwards. Basically, just a good guy doing a good job. 5/5 would recommend.
