Why sellers inspect first
Most deals that fall apart after a buyer's inspection fall apart over surprises. A pre listing inspection moves those surprises to the front, while you still control the timeline.
- Fix things on your schedule. Get quotes and hire your own contractors instead of rushing repairs before closing.
- Price with confidence. You and your agent know the condition of the roof, furnace, water heater and other big items before you set a price.
- Fewer renegotiations. Buyers have fewer reasons to ask for credits late in the deal.
- Show buyers you have nothing to hide. Some sellers share the report with buyers as a sign of good faith.
What the inspection covers
The same full inspection a buyer would order: structure, roof and exterior, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, and the interior, including attic insulation and ventilation. Every inspection includes thermal imaging, drone roof imaging and carbon monoxide and gas leak checks at no extra cost.
Add ons that help sellers
- Radon testing, since many Northeast Ohio buyers ask for it
- Sewer scope inspection on older homes, where a sewer line problem is one of the most expensive surprises
- Mold inspection if you have had water in the basement
- Well and septic inspections for rural homes
- Termite inspection
Your report
You get a color coded, photo rich report the same day, with minor items in green, moderate concerns in yellow and serious items in red, so you can decide what to fix first. James is available afterward to walk you through it.
A note on disclosure
Ohio sellers complete a Residential Property Disclosure Form. A pre listing inspection helps you know the condition of the home before you fill out the form.
