Pre-listing inspections are going to become more popular as we move from a red hot sellers’ market to a balanced one – or even to a buyer’s market. Selling a house comes with a lot of moving pieces, and the last thing you want is a deal falling apart over unexpected repairs uncovered during the buyer’s inspection. That’s why it pays to anticipate potential issues before buyers ever step through the door. And one way to do that is with a pre-listing inspection. Another advantage of a pre-listing inspection is that it allows you to make the repairs yourself or to hire a handyman to do them.
