Learn how home inspections prevent costly bathroom repairs and hidden leaks.
When Christal and AJ decided to sell their home they got a home inspection first.
In this installment of Selling Manassas they walk through the issues that the home inspector found in their home.
A home seller should get a home inspection for several reasons, including:
-
Shows buyers you’re serious
A home inspection can help buyers feel confident that you’re serious about selling your home.
-
Strengthens your selling power
An inspection can help you list your home’s updates and assets, which can make your home more appealing to buyers.
-
Prompts offers without inspection conditions
In a competitive market, a home inspection can encourage buyers to make an offer without an inspection condition.
-
Reveals issues
A home inspection can identify safety issues and maintenance problems that could cause problems for the buyer down the road.
While a home doesn’t need to pass an inspection to be sold, it’s important to understand the condition of the property and the risks involved. Sellers aren’t required to fix cosmetic issues, but it’s usually in their best interest to make repairs to increase the likelihood of a sale.
