Pre-Listing Perks
Eighty percent of all real estate deals are conditional on a home inspection. Be proactive and stand out from the competition by performing a pre-listing inspection for your seller.
- Attracting the highest asking price = more commission for you.
- For every $1,000 of perceived defect, the buyer will ask for a $3,000 to $5,000 reduction of the asking price—don’t risk getting a lower offer. You want to know about the issues now, not when the buyers inspector shows up.
- Better negotiating power. As the listing agent, you have the most knowledge about the product, so you don’t want any surprises. When you know about the potential issues of a home, you can decide if the seller should fix them or leave the option to the buyer.
- Use the pre-listing inspection as a marketing tool—this is particularly effective in hot markets.
