Seller's Inspections
One of the main reasons home sale transactions fall apart are home inspections. This happens when something unanticipated is discovered during the buyers' inspection of the property, and the buyers and sellers can't agree on a remedy
A professional pre-sale inspection report is great sales tools. It sets your home apart from the thousands on the market. The more information prospective buyers have, the more thought they might give to purchasing the property
There is a psychology involved in a home sale. Buyers who are aware of a problem up-front can process this information before making an offer. They can factor the cost into their bid, or ask the sellers to take care of the problem. Buyers often have mixed feelings of excitement and trepidation when they enter into an agreement to buy a home. The impact of an unexpected "bad" report can destroy their excitement and enhance their fear to the point that they want nothing to do with the property, in other words......... scare them off!!

A seller's report is not meant to replace buyer's inspections. It's to uncover defects in advance so that the buyer's inspections don't become deal-breakers.
