Buyers will insist on a professional Home Inspection performed by an
inspector they will hire. If the buyers inspector finds a problem, it can cause
the buyer to get cold feet and the deal can often fall through. At best,
surprise problems uncovered by the buyers inspector will cause delays in
closing, and usually you will have to pay for repairs at the last minute, or
take a lower price on your home.

Its better to pay for your own inspection before putting your home on the
market. Having a
pre-listing inspection done will make the whole sale
process easier. Find out about any hidden problems and get them
corrected in advance, on your own terms. Or present the items as is and
reflected in the purchase price. Otherwise, you can count on the buyers
inspector finding them, at the worst possible time, causing delays, and
costing you more money.

One of the key benefits of having the inspection done early, is that if there
are any problems discovered that need to be repaired, you can have the
repairs done on your own terms, on your own schedule. When a problem
isn't found until the buyer has an inspection performed, the deal you've
worked so hard to get done may fall apart unless you act quickly to get the
repairs done. Or you may have to take a lower price, in order to keep the
deal moving. In either case, you'll almost certainly have more headache,
and spend more money, than if you'd known about the problem and had it
repaired before negotiations began. You could save thousands by simply
being able to shop around and get competitive bids from contractors,
rather than being forced into paying for a rush job at the last minute.
Another area where you can save money is in having flexibility to choose
the materials used in repairs. Sales contracts usually specify repairs must
be made using materials of comparable quality. By identifying needed
repairs early, you'll have the option to save money by using less expensive
materials for the repairs.

You can also benefit from simply offering certain items as is. Often, you
can negotiate with a buyer to accept items in the current condition by
stipulating that they are reflected in the purchase price. But that same
buyer may walk away from the deal if the conditions come as a surprise,
after an offer has already been made. If the home is inspected before the
house goes on the market you will be aware of the condition of the house
before an offer is made. There wont be any surprises and the deal is far
less likely to fall apart. It takes a lot of effort to get a sales agreement
signed in the first place. If the inspection turns up problems, the buyer will
want to negotiate a new deal and that second sales agreement is usually
even harder to get done than the first one.

By having a pre-listing inspection done, you can identify problems early.
Then either correct them or present them as is, assuring that the first offer
you accept can move quickly and smoothly to closing without delays or
costly surprises.
If you are selling a home, youll get the
highest price in the shortest time, if your
home is in top condition. And you want
to find out about any hidden problems
before your house goes on the market.
Almost all sales contracts include the
condition that the contract is contingent
upon completion of a satisfactory
inspection. This is known as the
inspection contingency.
