Owner Inspection or Pre-Listing Inspection

The marketability of your home could be substantially increased, while maximizing your sale price! 

Maybe you’re a South Florida homeowner just looking to fix up your home or perhaps you’re an owner looking to sell your home. We find that when sellers fix all the little things, it gives a much better overall impression of the home. Even the small and less expensive items in a home, such as burnt-out light bulbs, damaged window screens, slowly draining sinks, and old peeling caulk can make a home appear in worse condition than it is.

A home inspection with Florida’s Favorite Home Inspections can help you have a better understanding of the condition of your home and what the buyers may want to be fixed, which could save you time, money, and stress at the closing of your home.

A home inspection performed by the buyer’s inspector may reveal problems that delay the closing or even cancel the sale of the home. Their inspector may indicate the home has termites* or an undiscovered leak. The buyer may want to cancel the contract even if you, as the owner, are willing to make all the necessary repairs. If you know prior to the buyer’s inspection about any defects, you can attend to them or inform the buyers. If buyers are interested in your home but questioning the validity of your inspector’s summary, feel confident to encourage them to hire their own South Florida home inspection company.

Signing contract when selling a home to take control of your investment.

Take control.

Getting an inspection before buyer negotiations will help you to take control of your investment. As the seller, you can help to eliminate secondary negotiations, which will in turn expedite your sale. When your inspection report has minimal defects, the marketability of your home is increased and your sale price is maximized!

A professional home inspection report may help protect you from liability

Protect yourself.

A certified professional home inspection report may protect you from liability. Disclosing adverse conditions, even if you decide not to repair them, helps to avoid non-disclosure claims in the future. Having an unbiased professional home inspector provide written evidence that your house is in good condition, while saving the buyers a few hundred dollars on the cost of an inspection, could help persuade the buyer.

Have your home inspected in advance - while it is still the builders' responsibility and under warranty

Warranty

Don’t make the mistake of forgetting when your home warranty expires; be sure to mark the date so you don’t forget. Within the home’s warranty, defects are still the builders' responsibility. Have your home inspected again prior to the warranty expiring as there may be repairs or replacements needed that you are not even aware of yet.
