The pre-listing home inspection is the fastest growing segment of the home inspection industry. Call and talk to one of our Portland area home inspectors.
The pre-listing home inspection is a valuable tool that can help ensure a smooth transaction for those selling a home. Please consider the following when deciding whether to hire a home inspector:

  • You can expect almost all home inspectors will find some issues in a home. This includes the "One year warranty" inspections on newer homes.

  • Most often the majority of issues identified by a home inspector are minor. However, if an item noted involves a major component such as plumbing, electrical, structural, etc. further evaluation by a licensed professional will be recommended.

  • Buyers could be hesitant to complete the transaction if major components are identified as needing repair or may insist on renegotiating the contract terms.

  • The time it takes for a contractors evaluation and repair may be longer than the potential buyer is willing or can afford to wait.

  • Pre-listing home inspections give the seller an opportunity to have identified issues evaluated or repaired prior to the buyers home inspector evaluating the structure.

  • A pre-listing home inspection reduces the chances of the buyers home inspector identifying any major shortcomings that could prevent an otherwise smooth transaction.
