Reasons to have a Sellers Inspection 

Seller's Inspection Program

Use the Seller's Inspection as an Internet sales tool!!
Our Seller's inspection report enables the real estate agent to place a link at their web site listing that will take the prospective buyer straight to the home inspection report with no diversions. The report is written in HTML (website language) and can be viewed over the internet instantly. See a sample real estate listing with a "Seller's Inspection" link.

A Seller's inspection will virtually eliminate all the hassles a buyers inspection causes:

bulletNo more renegotiations.
By getting the inspection before a buyer comes along eliminates surprises in a home inspection that usually resorts to heated re-negotiations.
bulletNo more deals that fall through when the home inspector finds a problem.
Why work so hard to have it all fall apart if a major surprise is discovered during the inspection process? Make the process occur before the buyer comes along!
bulletNo more does the Seller have to deal with inflated cost estimates that costs him or her money.
The seller can shop around and have quality work or repairs performed before the buyer comes along.
bulletHow valuable is the agents time?
Before you spend countless hours working that property, wouldn't you like to know if there is a huge deficiency before the buyer comes along?
Knowing what defects are present at the initial listing creates enormous benefits:
bulletIt will allow the agent and the Seller to discuss what items should be fixed and what should not.
bulletIt will substantiate your price, or may convince a Seller to rethink the asking price.
bulletIt will be full disclosure protection for the Seller and agent.
bulletIt will allow the Seller to shop around for the best price to repair (not an inflated price that a Buyer would use to make sure all is covered.
bulletIt streamlines the process.

How easy is selling a house with a Seller's Inspection?
A lot easier than a home that hasn't had an inspection yet. As an agent yourself, if you were shopping with a buyer would you be more attracted to a listing that has already had the inspection performed and repairs complete?

Agents are unaware of the marketing power of their listings being pre-inspected
Realtors who understand the value of a seller's inspection require all their listings to have a seller's inspection.  

Seller's inspection offers buyers confidence knowing that their listings are not going to have surprises typically associated with a buyer's home inspection. 

All we need to do is agree on the price! It will also validate the asking price, or help the owner to realize that repairs need to be performed, or the price needs to be lowered. 

Or, as an agent, you may limit your time with this listing if the inspection reveals problems and the seller doesn't want to address them or lower his price. 

Having your listings already inspected will be like a magnet to your fellow agents with buyers! It will also increase your efficiency and productivity.

Seller's Home Inspection FAQ

How can I explain to my seller that this is the best money he or she will spend to sell their home with the least stress, and the most savings?

  1. Explain that the future Buyer will bring a home inspector and will comb through their home and list defects or problems, which most likely will come with inflated estimates and cause renegotiation or anxiety.
  2. Ask them to visit our web site (www.homegauge.com) and see the examples and info on why a Seller's inspection is the best money ever spent. Send them this link
  3. Explain that the report will be viewable on the internet attached to their listing with you. This will help sell the home more efficiently, increase interest and will stand out among other listings.
  4. Also, help them to realize their option to correct any problems, and have a reinspection to remove those problems that were corrected, and revise the report on the internet.
  5. Above all, a Seller's Inspection is the ultimate gesture of full disclosure and will help protect them.

Are seller's inspections just as thorough as a buyers inspection?
A home inspection is only as good as the home inspector. A thorough inspector who wants business, not lawsuits, will perform an unbiased inspection with integrity.

But my new listing is "clean" and has no problems so do I need a Seller's Inspection?
YES. It is great that your listing has no problems so lets prove it by uploading the clean report to the HomeGauge web site, add the link to your listings, and get that house sold fast fast fast!

When the home is clean, showing only normal adjustments for a door or a window, or typical items found on most homes, the report will be a selling tool. When a Buyer is intrigued about a home they are looking to buy, a main reservation is wondering about the condition of the home. Seeing the report on the web site may produce a phone call for more info instead of clicking to the next ad. It's a great sales tool if your home checks out! And if your home needs repairs, then why not fix them on your terms and not the Buyers. After all, it is still your home.

What's my next step?
Call HomeFront Inspection for more information. We can come and present this program at one of your monthly meetings.

Seller's Inspection To-Do List

Follow this list for best results:

  1. After reviewing the report, decide if you want to repair anything. If repairs were performed, have the inspector re-inspect the home and provide you with a cleaned up report.
  2. Instruct him you want to make the report "public" and send you the link (part of the inspector's HomeGauge Services).
  3. Send the link you received from the inspector by email to your agent and instruct the agent to place the link at your web listing on their site.
  4. You can also click on this link and copy that link in your email if desired to show the agent an example: What would a sample seller's report look like on an agent's web listing?
    See the inspection report
  5. Have the inspector print off several copies of the report (10 copies) and leave with you to place in your home for potential buyers to take with them. Call him and ask for more copies if you run out. Allowing the potential buyer to take a copy of the report keeps your home with them after they leave. The inspector shouldn't mind printing more because his name and report is being carried around for the other buyers who did not purchase your home but may call him for their inspection.

See our Seller's To Do List page for more information.

All the realtor has to do is mention the great service and have the seller give Homefront Inspection a call. We will do the rest

HomeFront Inspection - Why Choose HomeFront Inspection, LLC

Received our education by attended The School of Building Inspection in Salt Lake, UT.

As a result of this training I've earned 5 diplomas in various aspects in home inspections.

What Really Matters

 

Buying a home? The process can be stressful. A home inspection is supposed to give you peace of mind, but often has the opposite effect. You will be asked to absorb a lot of information in a short time. This often includes a written report, checklist, photographs, environmental reports, and what the inspector himself says during the inspection. All this combined with the seller's disclosure and what you notice yourself makes the experience even more overwhelming. What should you do?

Relax. Most of your inspection will be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies and minor imperfections. These are nice to know about. However, the issues that really matter will fall into four categories:

1. Major defects.  An example of this would be a structural failure.

2. Things that lead to major defects.  A small roof-flashing leak, for example.

3. Things that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy, or insure the home.

4. Safety hazards, such as an exposed, live buss bar at the electric panel.

Anything in these categories should be addressed. Often a serious problem can be corrected inexpensively to protect both life and property (especially in categories 2 and 4).

Most sellers are honest and are often surprised to learn of defects uncovered during an inspection. Realize that sellers are under no obligation to repair everything mentioned in the report. No home is perfect. Keep things in perspective. Don't kill your deal over things that don't matter. It is inappropriate to demand that a seller address deferred maintenance, conditions already listed on the seller's disclosure, or nit-picky items.
