If you’re like most people who are thinking about selling a house on 30A, you’re pretty familiar with what’s going on – you know what your home’s shortcomings are, what needs to be repaired, and what buyers will look at when they come by for a tour.
But should you take things a step farther and get a pre-inspection?
Maybe. Here’s what you need to know.
Do You Need a Pre-Inspection Before You Sell Your Home?
Talk to your real estate agent if you’re considering having a pre-inspection. In many cases, it’s a great idea. That way, you’ll have a heads-up about what your eventual buyer’s inspector will uncover when he or she comes to check out the space. You’ll have time to fix issues that buyers might find problematic, which can be a game-changer if you’re selling a home that’s been around the block a few times.
However, it’s not right for everyone. Remember that home inspections cost money (usually between $200 and $500) and that buyers will still hire their own, as well. If you don’t think your home has any major issues – or at least if you’re not questioning whether it does – you might be able to skip the pre-inspection and just rely on the buyer’s inspector to fill everyone in.
The bottom line is that you should talk to your real estate agent before you make any moves. He or she will be able to tell you what’s best in your situation.
