A pre-listing inspection is the same as a home inspection, but is done to provide the seller with a better understanding of their own home’s condition, and to allow them to address any areas of concern, deficiency or overdue maintenance-related items prior to it becoming a potential issue for a future purchaser.

 

A pre-listing inspection can help you determine your home’s true value. A qualified inspector will go through your home and accurately assess what’s good and what’s bad about the building(s). Small maintenance jobs that you put off years ago may have grown into large problems. New problems may have cropped up since you last had an inspection done (which, if you’re like most people, was when you bought the house). On the other hand, expensive renovations may have boosted the value.
