Pre-listing inspections could lead to quicker home sales

March 4, 2010 - Individuals who are planning to put their homes up for sale may want to consider getting a pre-listing inspection, which could help them avoid several headaches later in the process.

Due to an increase in bank-owned property and foreclosed homes on the market, many prospective homebuyers are being advised to pay particular attention to the condition of the properties that interest them, NorthJersey.com reports.

Home sellers who are able to pay for these inspections can save money and time on the preparation of their property disclosure documents. Because these reports typically include detailed descriptions of the state of structure and system functions - including heating and cooling mechanisms - homeowners may be able to anticipate their buyers' demands.

Furthermore, individuals who hire home inspectors before putting their houses on the market may be able to plan for additional expenses that could arise during the closing process. They may also use the report to complete any additional home repair and maintenance projects before they host any showings.

These examinations may also provide an immediate benefit to homeowners, as they could help them discover any immediate threats to their own safety, such as radon gas or termite infestation, according to the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors.
