Selling a Home: How to Generate More BUYER INTEREST in Your Home
Selling a home?Sellers can benefit by getting a pre-market home inspection as well! Having your home inspected BEFORE you put it on the market gives you an immediate and distinct advantage over other sellers in your area.
Here's how it works:
Altamont Superior performs a complete home inspection on the property you are selling. If everything checks out (no major defects), then you have an immediate advantage over every other home for sale in your area. I furnish you with a printed report stating that there are no major defects with the home at the time of the inspection, and I plant a sign in your front yard with the proud MOVE-IN CERTIFIED logo on it. This tells every prospective buyer that your home has ALREADY been inspected for defects before they even tour the home. They'll no longer wonder if there are any unpleasant surprises waiting for them if they purchase your home.
If we discover a problem or defect with the home, you'll have a chance to correct it  before a prospective buyer discovers it, and uses it to negotiate a reduced offer...possibly many times the actual price to correct the defect. You may decide to adjust your selling price to reflect the defect that needs to be corrected, or you may have the problem corrected so that you can get the MOST out of your home sale. If you correct the defect, I'll be happy to re-inspect the property at a greatly reduced price to verify that repairs have been made, issue you a printed report stating that there are no major problems with the home, and plant that big MOVE-IN CERTIFIED sign on your lawn. Could there BE a better selling tool than telling prospective buyers that your home has no major defects???
So, for a few hundred dollars in inspection costs, you stand to:
-
sell your home FASTER, and for top dollar
-
gain an immediate advantage over other sellers in your area
-
reduce the chances of a buyer discovering a defect and souring the deal
-
eliminate 11th-hour negotiations over the monetary value of repairs
In addition....
-
a seller has the option of choosing an InterNACHI Certified inspector, rather than being at the mercy of the buyer's choice of inspectors
-
the report will show that you're bargaining in good faith, and might encourage buyer to accept defects in the home that they otherwise may NOT have
