Here are some advantages of SELLING a home that is Move-in Certified:
The inspection has already been completed by the time you tour the home
The inspection has already been paid for by the seller, giving you the option of waiving your inspection contingency, which streamlines the sales process
A Move-in Certified Seller Inspection can help prevent 11th-hour re-negotiations and delays
A Move-in Certified Seller Inspection can reveal problems ahead of time, which:
gives the seller time to make repairs;
permits the seller to attach repair estimates or paid invoices to the inspection report; and
gives you the information you need to make an informed home-buying decision.
The report may relieve your unfounded suspicions and concerns before you decide to walk away from an otherwise great deal.
You can choose - ME - a Master Certified Professional Inspector® to inspect your home first, which may prompt the buyer to waive his own inspection contingency. And even if he doesn't, a Seller Inspection means you won't be in for any surprises.
You can schedule your inspection at your own convenience, rather than accommodate a buyer and his inspector.
You can assist me during the inspection, which is something not normally done during a buyer's inspection.
A Move-In Certified Seller Inspection may alert you to any immediate concerns, such a broken pressure-relief valve or an active termite infestation.
The Seller Inspection:
allows you to take the time to shop for competitively priced contractors to make repairs, rather than making rushed decisions to get things fixed in a hurry;
lets you attach repair estimates or paid invoices to the inspection report; and
removes over-inflated buyer-procured repair estimates from the negotiating table.
