Some agents are in favor of pre-sale home inspections and some are not. I am in favor of them in this market because it will set you apart from your competition for several reasons.

You are demonstrating to buyers that you have nothing to hide and that you are going the extra mile to provide full disclosure of the property condition. Buyers are less likely to come back and cause issues stating that you concealed known defects when a home inspection report is provided prior to sale.

This also enables you to do any repair work prior to the sale. You can repair everything, or you can repair some things and disclose the rest, leaving it up to the buyer how they want to structure their offer.

Buyers are often willing to accept defects that are disclosed at the outset of the transaction. If defects come up in their home inspection they are more likely to demand the seller address those issues as a deal breaker. As an agent, I would insist the buyer to also do their own inspection to show that the seller’s report is not biased.

Keep in mind it is not part of the inspector’s report to suggest methods, materials, or costs of corrections for any deficiencies. Keep those suggestions to a neutral, third party licensed contractor.

Short and to the point, it’s too nice a day here in beautiful Hawaii for me to be indoors on a computer!

    How true! I even suggest buyers get a home inspection on a brand new home. I have seen some scary electrical and shoddy workmanship that should be fixed…
