Hey everyone, I wanted to stop by today to talk about the importance of getting a pre-inspection on your home before you list it. 

When I say pre-inspection, I am talking about your standard home and pest/termite inspection. Instead of the buyer ordering it after they make an offer, however, this inspection is done prior to the home being listed. This inspection will check for any major issues that would effect the value or safety of the home, including electrical or plumbing problems. 
 



If you're thinking of selling your home, getting it inspected will create a better environment for you in negotiations.  In Nevada County, a buyer will make an offer on a house, then set aside the 17-day inspection period, where they will go through various inspections.

However, if you've already done this yourself, you can hand the inspection report to the buyer as soon as they make an offerIt doesn't prevent the buyer from having their own home inspection, but most of the time it stops them from ordering one. By doing this, you can shorten the inspection period to about 7 days. 

So don't waste 2.5 weeks on inspections. Doing pre-inspections can help you get the ball rolling faster, and can even help you price your home more effectively.
All in all, pre-inspections make the home selling process a whole lot smoother.
