If you are readying your home for sale
this spring or summer, one of my favorite tactics to set your property apart
from other New City listings is to order a pre-inspection. If you’re not
familiar with the term, a pre-inspection is a less detailed, less expensive
visual inspection designed to report major conditions certain to be noted in
the final. Why add this extra expense? Won’t buyers ultimately get their own
inspection? Pre-Inspection Reports Help New City Listings Stand Out
Yes, they will. But the purpose is not
to replace a final inspection — it’s to attract more offers and hasten a final
sale by minimizing re-negotiation. Pre-Inspection Reports Help New City Listings

Picture yourself as a prospective buyer. New
City listings which headline the availability of a pre-inspection report
automatically seem to be offered by someone who is proud of their property’s
condition and unafraid of what the final inspection will reveal. To skittish
prospective buyers, it serves to lessen the "fear of the unknown"
that can make buyers hesitate before writing an offer. If there were a formula,
it would look something like:

Pre-inspected
listings let you document major conditions that have either been addressed or
left for the future owner to remediate as he or she sees fit. By noting how
your asking price includes precise dollar allowances for named conditions, you
display openness and conviction in the basis for your pricing. Local listings
written after a pre-inspection are a lot more likely minimize last-minute
re-negotiation: if you have ever been asked at the last minute to knock off $20k
from an accepted offer, you know the value of that. Pre-Inspection Reports Help New City Listings

It is worth noting that any serious
defects that a pre-inspection identify must be disclosed, for better or for
worse. But fear of a major discovery shouldn’t dissuade you: any major defect
will certainly be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. The old saying applies:
knowledge IS power. Pre-Inspection Reports Help New City Listings Stand
