Written by Wally Conway


Continued from page 1

In most cases,repparttar seller's feel good gettingrepparttar 101472 peace of mind of knowing that no major event or expense will be uncovered byrepparttar 101473 buyer's inspector. And onrepparttar 101474 rare occasion when it is discovered byrepparttar 101475 pre-listing inspector thatrepparttar 101476 roof is completely shot or there is some other big expense or danger,repparttar 101477 sellers, while not happy to haverepparttar 101478 problem, are glad to have discovered it on their own terms. The small expense ofrepparttar 101479 inspection is always less thenrepparttar 101480 cost and aggravation of a hurried hunt to get something repaired or replaced afterrepparttar 101481 home is under contract.

Saverepparttar 101482 pain, spendrepparttar 101483 money. Get every home inspected prior to putting it onrepparttar 101484 market!

3. "The home is selling 'as is'."

This may berepparttar 101485 best reason of all to inspect at listing! Ifrepparttar 101486 home is being sold "as is", reduce your risk and liability asrepparttar 101487 seller by getting a pre-listing inspection. In order forrepparttar 101488 home to sell quickly and atrepparttar 101489 highest price, disclose every condition ofrepparttar 101490 home. The inspection gives bothrepparttar 101491 buyer andrepparttar 101492 sellerrepparttar 101493 comfort of knowing thatrepparttar 101494 home "is as it is". With a pre-listing inspection, there is a high likelihood thatrepparttar 101495 home is as represented.

Even in an "as is" contract,repparttar 101496 buyer may still have their own inspection performed. If these two inspections are similar in content, it is rarerepparttar 101497 buyer will walk or counter offer. That, in fact, isrepparttar 101498 goal ofrepparttar 101499 "as is" sale.

Another concern of sellers is that they will have to repair every item that is discovered to be discrepant onrepparttar 101500 inspection report. This is simply not true. It would be true that every discrepant item needs to be disclosed, and those disclosures may impact value and hence asking price, but nothing need necessarily be corrected.

The Problem with Partials!

Written by Wally Conway


Continued from page 1

To ignore them is clearly irresponsible; to disclose them is to surely expandrepparttar inspection beyond its requested partial scope. In either scenario, it is certain to create confusion and consternation. Had these initial symptoms of problem been discovered and disclosed inrepparttar 101471 context of a full inspection it would be a much simpler and more professional process to provide a clear and complete picture for integration intorepparttar 101472 contract. Seldom are partial inspections good for anyone inrepparttar 101473 transaction other then follow-up torepparttar 101474 initial full home inspection.
