Certified Master Inspector

Pre-Listing Inspections

Seller inspections (sometimes referred to as pre-listing inspections) are becoming more popular because they can prevent many of the pitfalls and hassles associated with waiting to do the inspections until a buyer is found. In many ways, waiting to schedule inspections until after a home goes under agreement, is too late. Seller inspections are arranged and paid for by the seller, usually just before the home goes on the market. The seller is the inspector's client. The inspector works for the seller and generates a report for the seller. The Seller inspections are a benefit to all parties in a real estate transaction. They are a win-win-win-win. Call or text Jason Lovelace at 901-351-2141 to schedule your inspection.

Advantages to the home inspector:

  • Seller inspections allow the inspector to catch inspection jobs upstream, ahead of real estate transactions.
  • Seller inspections are easier to schedule and are not under the time constraints of sales agreement's inspection contingencies.
  • Working for sellers is typically less stressful than working for buyers about to make the purchase of their lifetimes.
  • Sellers can alert the inspector to problems that should be included in the report, answer questions about their homes, and provide seller's disclosure statements.
  • Seller inspections put a sample copy of the inspector's product, the report, in the hands of many local buyer's agents that tour the home.
  • The inspector is credited, in part, with the smoothness of the real estate transaction by buyer, seller and agents on both sides.
  • The buyer might insist on hiring the seller's inspector to produce a fresh report since the seller's inspector is already familiar with the home.
  • Most sellers are local buyers and so many sellers hire the inspector again to inspect the homes they are moving to.

Advantages to the real estate agent:

  • Agents can recommend certified NACHI inspectors as opposed to being at the mercy of buyer's choices in inspectors.
  • Sellers can schedule the inspections at seller's convenience with little effort on the part of agents.
  • Sellers can assist inspectors during the inspections, something normally not done during buyer's inspections.
  • Sellers can have inspectors correct any misstatements in the reports before they are generated.
  • The reports help sellers see their homes through the eyes of a critical, third-party, thus making sellers more realistic about asking price.
  • Agents are alerted to any immediate safety issues found, before other agents and potential buyers tour the home.
  • Repairs made ahead of time might make homes show better.
  • Reports hosted online entice potential buyers to tour the homes.
  • The reports provide third-party, unbiased opinions to offer to potential buyers.
  • Clean reports can be used as marketing tools to help sell the homes.
  • The reports might relieve prospective buyer's unfounded suspicions, before they walk away.
  • Seller inspections eliminate buyer's remorse that sometimes occurs just after an inspection.
  • Seller inspections reduce the need for negotiations and 11th-hour renegotiations.
  • Seller inspections relieve the agent of having to hurriedly procure repair estimates or schedule repairs.
  • The reports might encourage buyers to waive their inspection contingencies.
  • Deals are less likely to fall apart the way they often do when buyer's inspections unexpectedly reveal problems, last minute.
  • Reports provide full-disclosure protection from future legal claims.
