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

Granite inspection group provided a fair, detailed, highly actionable report of findings, and risk areas. I highly recommend their team, easy to work with and communication was great.

Paula Blomquist   

Granite Inspection really came through for us! Due to some careless things our builder did, there were several obstacles and challenges to installing a radon mitigation system in our home. After two others had shown up and failed to help us, I was losing hope. Then I called Granite Inspection, and I wish I had called them first! Michael is knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He got the job done, no problem. I highly recommend Granite Inspection.

Julie Gonzalez   

This company is awesome. Very Very professional. Totally happy with their performance. I will definitely use them again in the future if the need arises.

David McPartland   

I have been through several home inspections for prior purchases and after each I found out a lot of details were missed. Fast forward to my latest experience with Michael @ Granite Inspection. All I can say is WOW, never have I had a such a thorough, well informed, detailed inspection. Michael spoke and explained to me as someone who genuinely cared and literally gave me a brain dump in person and in his report about the house, all the good, bad and ugly, he held nothing back. He really wanted to ensure that I was in a position to make a well-informed decision. I don't usually write lengthy reviews, but Michael has saved me from a very costly mistake. Truly appreciated his objectivity and professionalism.

Marlyne Bennett   

Granite inspection was wonderful to work with. Michael installed a radon mitigation system in our 150 old house and he did a wonderful job. He was always clear, concise, and friendly. Would highly, highly recommend. Thank you so much!!

Kristin Luks   

Micheal was amazing and very informative! I appreciate his hard work especially by himself. Lisa was very helpful and so polite over the phone. Would definitely recommend for services.

Ashley F   

We had to have a Radon Mitigation system installed in our house. Started by looking at the NY State's website for Certified Radon Mitigation Contractors. Narrowed the search down to those who are Certified Radon Testers at Dutchess County (currently there are 4). We chose the Granite Inspection Group because of their qualifications listed on their business website.
Contacting them and scheduling for a Radon test was very easy.
Michael and his wife Lisa are very friendly, pleasant, and more importantly very responsive and professional. After the test and the evaluation, we received a written estimate regarding the cost of the installation of the Radon Mitigation system.
The installation and subsequent evaluation (re-testing) of the Radon Mitigation system was flawless. Granite Inspection Group did an excellent job. As a retired engineer I appreciate their professionalism.

GTM   

With basement radon levels between 19 and 21, I contacted Michael. He installed the radon mitigation system in one day. The result is astonishingly successful: the average is now around 0.35, well below 1, and our house is now virtually free of this carcinogenic gas. Michael is thoroughly professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. The results speak volumes.

Garry Hagberg   

I used granite inspection for my home inspection and the gentleman that was there doing the inspection was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Gave a full break down of what was needed and what needed to be done. Very professional service from beginning to end .Will highly recommend to anyone

Michael Roman   

We used Granite Inspection when we purchased our current house and had them carry out an inspection for a property we recently had an offer accepted on. Michael provided a 108 page report. Thorough, professional and invaluable. Simply put, we would not have anyone else inspect a property.
