Save Money and Reduce Stress with Prelisting Inspections

Home inspections are vital, to say the least. Home inspections have the power to send all parties back to the negotiation table. That being said, some sellers are taking the precautionary step of having an inspection done before listing the home for sale.

Typically, home inspections are paid for by the buyer and performed right before closing the sale of the home. But by moving the inspection to the beginning of the sales cycle, sellers are able to hold the upper hand, and remove obstacles that might interfere with the buying process.

Prelisting Inspections are gaining tons of popularity because they benefit all parties involved! Read more about the benefits of Prelisting below
