A Pre-listing
Inspection?
Yes please. Having an engineer come in for a full home inspection prior to listing the house will do a world of good for the eventual sale price. What may cost you $100 to repair a potential buyer will want $1,000 in credits to repair. By being pre-inspected, you will uncover any little (or big) imperfections in the house that you might not have been aware of (e.g.: termites, leaking foundation, improperly ventilated roof, crossed wires, etc.) and have the chance to have them repaired BEFORE a buyer has their inspections. When these issues arise at a buyers’ inspection, you can proudly declare “It’s been repaired!”
Many home inspectors offer discounts to sellers who do a pre-sale inspection before the house hits the market. I can provide you with recommendations for inspectors who are licensed by New York State and enjoy a good reputation in the local market place. Even if you decide not to sell, this is not a bad idea if you’ve been in the house for some time. Very often some of the hardware (e.g.: electric panels, wiring, or plumbing issues) have been updated or declared dangerous and you can have them repaired or changed before they present a problem.
