Pre-Listing Inspections

By bringing potential problem areas to light before sellers put their house on the market and creating an environment of trust and goodwill between sellers and buyers, prelisting inspections can reduce parties’ stress level and eliminate many of the bumps that can throw a deal off track.
The need to make certain repairs—such as to mechanical systems (heating and air conditioning, plumbing, and electrical) and to address safety issues—almost goes without saying. But the prelisting inspection can help the owner decide which, if any, of the remaining projects to address before putting the house on the market.

Even if sellers decide not to make any of the suggested fixes, a prelisting inspection can still prove beneficial. It allows sellers to obtain cost estimates for needed work, so they can offer potential buyers an appropriate, not excessive, discount off the listing price.
A prelisting inspection helps get buyers comfortable with the idea of making an “as is” offer. There’s also a greater sense of security because the seller is being very transparent, demonstrating that there’s nothing to hide. 

  • Home Inspection 
  • Wood Destroying Pests/Vermin 
  • Chimney Inspection 
  • Roof Inspection 
  • Sewer Lateral Inspection (as required) 
  • Septic System Inspection (if needed)

Thanks to the Internet, potential buyers are walking into homes more knowledgeable than ever before, and sellers need to do everything they can to sell their house with fewer surprises or hiccups.

Buyer Screening

By having our lender cross-qualify the buyer’s credit worthiness before opening escrow, we can prevent buyer’s that are not fully approved to purchase. This prevents the transaction from falling apart and coming back on the market.

Concierge Services

Our concierge was established to help sellers prepare their home for sale by covering the upfront costs of renovations or repairs that can lead to a higher sales price.

Pricing It Right!

With the internet, buyers are very informed.
They know what you bought your home for, what your home looked like when you bought it, what you’ve done to it, how much you owe on it and why you’re selling.
They compare your home to others on the market. Pricing it at Market Value or just slightly below is the best strategy to get your home sold quickly and give the buyers the best perception
of value.
