Inspect-It 1st Pre-sale Home Inspection Report©

The Inspect-It 1st Report© is generated from a customized and copyrighted software program. Our report is a written and pictorial guide of the visible elements evaluated during the physical inspection. Depending upon the size and complexity of the home, up to 500 items will be reviewed during our inspection process. A summary of the details will be presented in a professional and easy to read format. Our system allows our inspectors to prepare an inspection report unique in design and content. Another advantage of our inspection system is the convenience it provides our customers; our reports can be downloaded from our website, emailed, or hand-delivered.

Sell with Confidence, get a Pre-Sale Home Inspection

Welcome Home Sellers. Inspect-It 1st® looks forward to contributing to the successful sale of your current home by providing professional pre-sale home inspection services by licensed home inspectors.

Why Inspect-It 1st?

Having your home inspected by a licensed home inspector prior to permitting buyers to view the property has many distinct advantages. One of the key benefits will be your preparedness for the sale; if any problems are discovered that need to be repaired, you can have the repairs done on your own terms, on your own schedule, saving you money.

Our experience has shown that most homes that receive a pre-sale home inspection by a licensed home inspector spend less time on the market and sell at prices closer to the listing price.

An Inspect-It 1st Report© will provide prospective buyers peace of mind and may limit price negotiations during the sales process. You'll also have an advantage over other properties the buyer is considering that may not have a report from a licensed home inspector available. We will even assist you in marketing your home! Inspect-It 1st® will provide you with a 'Pre-Inspected' sign for your front yard for all realtors and prospective buyers to see.

At best, surprise problems uncovered by the buyer's licensed home inspector may cause delays in closing, and you will usually have to pay for repairs at the last minute, or accept a lower price on your home. With the condition of the property being a distinct differentiator, why not be prepared and ready, rather than unprepared and reactionary.

If repairs are needed, you have two alternatives:

You can elect to make the needed repairs, providing our inspection report and documentation that the work was performed (receipts and warranties) to all potential buyers as they preview your home.
You can elect not to make the repairs, taking into consideration the problem areas as you decide on your listing price and subsequent buyer negotiations.

Either way, you are well positioned, having both knowledge and time on your side.

Enhancing the Sale

At Inspect-It 1st®, we have compiled a list of many common defects that impact the sale of your home. Many are simple and easy to correct, which will keep buyer prospects interested in your property. Here are some areas you can review for yourself and correct as necessary.
