Sellers / Pre-Listing Inspection

Sellers / Pre-listing Inspections and Testing Services Benefits

Pre-listing inspections virtually reduce or eliminate the pitfalls and hassles associated with waiting to do the home inspection until a buyer is found. Pre-listing inspections are a benefit to all parties in a real estate transaction.

  • Pre-listing inspections might alert the property owner of immediate safety issues or concerns before agents and buyers tour your home.
  • Help the seller realistically price the home.
  • Help the seller substantiate a higher asking price if problems don’t exist or have been corrected.
  • Reveals problems ahead of time, which might make the home show better.
  • Should I Evaluate and Test for Environmental Concerns in my Home Prior to Listing?
  • Gives the seller time to make repairs and shop for competitive contractors.
  • Permits a clean home inspection report to be used as a marketing tool.
  • Might Encourage the buyer to waive the inspection contingency.
  • Schedule the inspection at their convenience.


Pre-listing inspections might alert the property owner of immediate safety issues or concerns before agents and buyers tour your home.
Safety concerns could exsist when a buyer’s inspection unexpectedly reveals a last-minute problem like system failure and environmental issues like Asbestos, Lead, Radon gas, Mold issues or active pest infestation.

Help the seller realistically price the home.
Having a inspection from a licensed home inspector will help you (the seller) understand the condition of your home.  If you find out, for example, that your hot water heater shows significant wear and tear and will need to be replaced before the next winter season, you should take that into consideration when pricing your home for sale or proactively repairing or replacing systems to avoid any last minute obstacles to promote a smoother and faster sale.

Help the seller substantiate a higher asking price if problems don’t exist or have been corrected.
It can help you to set the price of your house realistically and gives you the ability to maximize the sale price. Many homes do not sell simply because the owner has no objective way of knowing what it is really worth to a potential buyer.

Should I Evaluate and Test for Environmental concerns in my home?
Absolutely! There is no better way to avoid upseting the cart than being proactive in identigfy and respoulveing a potentiaon cocnerns that my drive you poterntail buyer aeay.A proactive approach to repairs and maintenance is key to a smoother transaction. Here is a short list of the most common issues at the time of a real estate transaction:
Radon Gas Testing
Water Quality and Testing
Mold Testing and Inspection
Lead Testing and Inspection
Indoor Air Quality Testing and Inspection

Reveals problems ahead of time, which might make the home show better.
A proactive approach to repairs and maintenance is key to a smoother transaction.

Gives the seller time to make repairs and shop for competitive contractors.
It permits you to make some, or all, of the needed repairs ahead of time so that defects won’t become negotiating stumbling blocks later. Most found defects are fairly inexpensive to fix.

Permits a clean home inspection report to be used as a marketing tool.
The report might relieve a prospective buyer’s unfounded suspicions, before they walk away.

Might Encourage the buyer to waive the inspection contingency.
Eliminates one possible delay on the way to closing making the process of selling/buying a home smoother and faster.

Repairs made ahead of time might make homes show better.
By identifying possible defects early on, the seller is in a position to handle repairs prior to listing, making the listing more attractive and the property more sale-able. This may mean more money to the seller and a faster sale.

Clean reports can be used as marketing tools to help sell the homes.
With a clean inspection in hand after viewing a property, potential buyers may feel more comfortable in moving ahead with an offer. When a buyer can see there are no major defects in the property to be addressed, it is easier for them to determine how much they can comfortably spend on the house

Schedule the inspection at their convenience.
Aside from your normally busy schedule selling a home could buy a lot of your time. If the inspection is done by you, the seller, you have the flexibility to schedule with the inspector at your convenience.

Testimonials

Michael answered all of my questions. The installation was successful and was completed in a professional manner. I am very satisfied with the radon system!

Ann D. Schwinger   

Michael is very professional, and knows what he is talking about. He takes the time to explain things in layman's terms so you understand the situation. He is the brains, and the brawn in the organization. Not only did he inspect our system, and provide a repair estimate, he was the person who showed up to do the dirty work. He also worked with me to let me do some of the demo myself in order to save costs.

I will use Michael for any inspection or radon needs going forward.

David Snider   

Granite Inspection group team member"Lisa" provided great customer service from the very beginning of scheduling our Inspection appointment. She was a pleasure to speak to, very informative and caring about our needs and schedule availability. She scheduled us with Michael Christophides "Inspector" who also provided great inspection services for the purchase of our first home. He was on time for our appointment, very patient and informative and took his time to explain all repair recommendation findings. Granite Inspection group made our inspection process a great experience!! We will definitely, recommend their services to our family and friends.

Artie Ferraro   

Lisa and Michael are wonderful! Lisa was great at providing information about the service and what we needed to do to get started- she even stayed late to make sure we were able to touch base with each other. Michael arrived for the appointment- he was very knowledgeable and explained in full detail how the system would help us, how it would be set up, and was very interested in our input. We had such a great experience with this group and would highly recommend them! Have your home tested!

KERRY DICKAN   

When we first learned that we might have radon in our home we were scared. We asked around and researched many different companies and finally decided to contact the Granite Inspection Group. From the beginning when we were just looking for information through the entire process they took the time to answer our questions. They were knowledgeable and understanding of our particular situation. They didn't try to "sell us" instead they were real down to earth people who genuinely wanted to educate and support us.
We would highly recommend this company to anyone who is interested in doing what it takes to keep their family safe.

Aubree F.   

Mike goes above and beyond to make sure that he provides the best service for his clients. He is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and explains his findings very clearly. I highly recommend Mike if you are looking for a home inspector.

Christopher Torres   

Michael came over after a tornado sent a pine tree crashing through my roof. Michael came over and explained the testing process and what needed to be done to maximize the testing results. Once the roof was repaired. Michael suggested ways to minimize the possibility of water penetrating the building which I completed prior to testing. Michael completed testing and we the favorable report shortly after.

I highly recommend Granite Inspection Group for the thorough inspection, testing and education. Michael, thanks for all the advice and pearls of wisdom.
