Seller inspections are a bargain and invaluable. — Home — Termite — Roof — Chimney — Pool — Crawl Space — Foundation — Sewer Lateral Lines

That full suite costs a fraction of one forced repair credit in escrow — and nothing compared to a homebuyer who walks.

Foundations are important and ignored. — The most critical part of your home gets the least attention before listing.

Buyer hesitancy and buyer remorse are expensive. — Buyers who find surprises renegotiate. — Buyers who cannot quantify a surprise walk. — Both are preventable.

If you are a home seller or a fiduciary — successor trustee, probate administrator, receiver, or attorney charged with selling a long-held family home — a full suite of pre-sale inspections is your strongest listing advantage. Informed homebuyers move faster and negotiate less.

Inspections and disclosures sell homes. Full stop.
