Having your home inspected by a National
Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI)
inspector before you list is the recommendation found
in the new edition of the book, Sell Your Home For
More by Nick Gromicko.

Eventually your buyers are going to conduct an
inspection. You may as well know what they are going
to find by getting there first. The author points out that
having an inspection performed ahead of time helps
in many other ways:

•It allows you to see your home through the eyes of a
critical third-party.
•It helps you to price your home realistically.
•It permits you to make repairs ahead of time so that:
•Defects don’t become negotiating stumbling blocks
later.
•You have the time to get reasonably priced
contractors or make the repairs yourself, if qualified.
•It may encourage the buyer to waive the inspection
contingency.
•It may relieve prospect’s concerns and suspicions.
•It reduces your liability by:
•Adding professional supporting documentation to
your disclosure statement.
•Alerting you to immediate safety issues before agents
and visitors tour your home.
What Can the Seller
Expect?

A home inspection is an
objective non-invasive visual
analysis of a home’s structure
and systems as they exist at the
time of the inspection.  The
report will review the condition
of the various systems of the
home from the roof to the
foundation.  My reports are
detailed and include
photographs to illustrate current
conditions.  I will meet with the
client at the conclusion of the
inspection to discuss my findings.

A home inspection is not
protection against future
failures; it is not a code
inspection; it is not an appraisal
and it is not a warranty.
All homes have problems.  
Solutions can vary from a simple
fix to a more complex remedy.  
Having a home inspection
allows the problem to be
addressed before the sale
closes.
