Pros of Doing a Seller Home Inspection:
- Identifying potential issues upfront: By having a home inspection done before putting the house on the market, sellers can identify any potential issues or repairs that need to be made before listing the property. This can help avoid surprises during the buyer’s inspection and prevent potential delays or price negotiations.
- Transparency and honesty: Conducting a seller home inspection demonstrates a willingness to be transparent and honest with potential buyers, which can build trust and confidence in the seller.
- Faster closing: Having a seller home inspection done can speed up the closing process by resolving any issues upfront and avoiding delays caused by issues discovered during the buyer’s inspection.
- Disclosure: If the seller chooses to disclose the results of the inspection, they may be required to reveal all issues uncovered by the inspector, which could potentially discourage some buyers.
- Liability: If the seller chooses not to disclose the inspection results, they may still be liable for any issues discovered by the buyer’s inspection.
