Got Listings?
How Can the New HomeSight Pre-listing Consultation Service be a Valuable Addition to Your Marketing Strategy?
1. Increased Buyer Confidence = Increased Offers at Higher Prices
Rather than buyers attempting to adjust their offer to hedge against unknown costs and going against their better judgment to have an inspection, a pre-listing inspection from HomeSight Inspections will encourage buyers to come with their best offer!
2. Allows the Sellers to Address Issues on their Terms
When sellers are informed prior to listing they get to make the decisions to cure or not. If improvements are to be made, sellers choose how the improvement will be done and who will do it.
3. Prevents Renegotiations
By having your listing pre-inspected you greatly reduce the possibilities of price reductions if you accept an offer with an inspection contingency as pre-inspected homes have been priced accordingly.
4. Reduction of Liability and Headaches After Closing
Pre-inspections can help reduce the seller's liability too. Inspections prevent many headaches from issues that arise post-close when all parties entered negotiations informed. Have you yet experienced any negative effects from uninformed buyers who have waived their inspections?
Not sure you want a report? We start with a verbal consultation before writing up a full inspection report and the seller can decide if, for any reason, they do or do not want a written report.
What is included?
Inspection - The same inspection that we would perform for a buyer.
Consultation - A verbal review with the seller of any significant issues.
Written Report - The same report that we would provide for a buyer.
What's Optional?
Re-Inspections/Report Modifications
Sellers may choose to have an additional re-inspection performed if they chose to make improvements and have those issues removed from the report.
Report Review and Walkthrough Service
If the report is used for marketing purposes to the potential buyers we highly recommend encouraging the buyer to hire us for the report review. This gives the buyer a chance to ask any questions they may have from the inspection report where we go over general maintenance tips and get them familiar with their new home. So the buyer gets all the benefits of having a buyer’s inspection without re-inspecting the house and the buyers receive all the perks of becoming clients of HomeSight inspections. This service can also be done before or after the buyer's offer has been made or accepted.
