HOME PROSPECTUS

Pre-listing Home Inspection: Head off trouble

Pre-surveyed Homes is the only real estate marketing company to provide a property prospectus which is uploaded to your listing page. A licensed inspector visits your home for a property inspection. While at your home the inspector provides you with a detailed list of items that may be negotiated in a sales transaction. Prudent seller’s have their property inspected prior to listing to allow for economical repairs and to avoid negotiating unreasonable credits with potential buyers. In today market buyers are typically asking for twice the repair cost.  While the pre-inspection definitely involves an investment on the part of the home seller, in the end it could help realize a greater profit when the home sells. In many cases the pre-inspection can pay for itself many times over. As the market has changed, with an increased amount of competition, this is a good tool that should serve many New Jersey sellers well in order to get ahead of the other sellers in their areas.

The property prospectus does not provide conditions in the home, it does however provide the potential buyer information about the materials and systems utilized in the homes construction. All the positive attributes are highlighted in the prospectus. Photos are provided for all of the property upgrades. We suggest that you combine this service with a virtual tour to provide every buyer the ultimate property description and visual enhancements to help you market your home. See Sample Report.

Identify defects and make repairs ahead of time. By identifying possible defects early on, the seller is in a position to handle repairs prior to listing, making the listing more attractive. Making repairs ahead of time will limit objections over defects during the negotiations. If the seller elects not to repair certain defects that turn up in the pre-inspection, they can disclose the defects to potential buyers in the disclosure documents. 
Make repair more cost effectively.  The seller has time to obtain estimates for repairs. Buyers typically ask for twice the actual cost of repairs.   
Provide confidence to the buyer. The home warranty coverage offered by pre-surveyed homes further ads to the buyer’s confidence level.  In today’s buyers market, one of the best things sellers can do to facilitate a sale is to pre-inspect the home.   
Market appeal. While the pre-inspection definitely involves an investment on the part of the home seller, in the end it could help realize a greater profit when the home sells. As the market has changed, with an increased amount of competition, this is a good tool that should serve many New Jersey sellers well in order to get ahead of the other sellers in their areas.
