Most sellers conduct a home inspection at the request of the buyer to verify the condition of the home before purchase. But some sellers choose to do a pre-inspection to put control back in their hands. When the buyer inspection finds problems, it can slow negotiations and cost the seller more in repairs. By having a pre-inspection, the seller can help eliminate any surprise findings after an offer has been made.
Appraisal —Verifying the Value of the HomeAn appraisal is an estimate of your property’s value on the open market, generally prepared by a lender for their benefit. Appraisers consider a number of factors, including square footage, floor plan, amenities, and energy efficiency.
Knowing the true condition of a home can bring peace of mind to buyers and sellers; and be one less hurdle in the home buying and selling process.
