Proven Way to Sell Homes Quickly for the Most Money
TAMPA, Fla., March 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Homeowners are protecting their real estate investments by conducting home inspections prior to selling their homes. By identifying hidden problem spots, sellers are able to fix problems in order to sell homes faster and for more money. Conducting pre-list home inspections and repairing problems before the home goes on the market can speed home sales by as much as 30 percent.
Pillar To Post, North America's largest home inspection service, has identified an increase of almost 10 percent in their pre-list home inspections.
"We're seeing more sellers than ever before contact us before selling their homes, as they've found out through research -- or previous first hand experience -- that it's much cheaper to fix problems with the home than to have the buyer try to negotiate the price down," said Dan Steward, president of Pillar To Post, Inc. "In fact, it's been suggested that for every $1.00 of identified repairs, the buyer may ask for double that in a price reduction." Increasingly, real estate professionals are joining this trend, recommending that sellers conduct pre-list home inspections to maintain home valuation.
Liz Moore, broker in Newport News, Virginia, says her firm pays for pre-list home inspections for all of her sellers. The average $380.00 price of an inspection is a small price to ensure the seller gains the highest price during the sale transaction. For example, paying as much as $5,000.00 to repair a leaky roof discovered during a home inspection is far more economical than having to lower the selling price of a home by $10,000.00.
