PRE-LISTING CONSULTATIONS

     Almost all sales contracts state that the transaction is contingent upon completion of a home inspection. This is known as the inspection contingency. If the buyers inspector finds a problem, it can cause the buyer to decide not to go ahead with the purchase. At best, surprise problems uncovered by the buyers inspector can cause delays in closing. You may have to pay for repairs or take a lower price on your home.

   The pre-listing consultation service that we provide will help you get ahead of problems. You'll have options that you wouldn't otherwise have such as disclosing any problems as being reflected in the listing price instead of having to negotiate repairs. Or, you'll have the opportunity to fix the problems thereby making your home much more appealing.

    One of the key benefits of a pre-listing consultation is that if there are any problems discovered that need to be repaired, you can have the repairs done on your own terms and on your own schedule. You could save thousands by simply being able to shop around and get competitive bids from contractors; rather than being forced into paying for a rush job at the last minute. Another area where you can save money is in having flexibility to choose the materials used in repairs.

        By getting a pre-listing consultation you'll have choices on how and when to deal with any issues that may have been discovered. This will help you correctly market your home and make for a smoother transaction after a price has been agreed upon.
