Pre-listing inspection.
The same inspection, run before the sign goes up instead of after the offer comes in. You find out what a buyer’s inspector will find, while you still have time and leverage to do something about it.

Why sellers do it
Surprises cost more after the offer.
Most price renegotiations happen because the buyer’s inspector found something the seller did not know about. At that point you are negotiating from behind, against a deadline, with a buyer who has just been handed a list of problems.
Running the inspection first turns that around. You choose what to repair, get competitive quotes instead of emergency ones, and disclose the rest openly. The report also gives your agent something concrete to point at when an offer comes in low.
What you get
Three things this buys you.
Two to three hours on site for a typical property, and the report within 48 hours. If the utilities are off we bring propane and a generator and power the building up rather than reporting it as unverified.
Fewer renegotiations
The problems are known and priced before anyone makes an offer on the house.
Better contractor pricing
Work scheduled on your timetable costs less than work scheduled against a closing date.
A document for your agent
Photo-documented and ordered by priority — something to hand a buyer rather than argue about.
Where we draw the line
We inspect. We do not repair.
Our code of ethics forbids our inspectors from performing repairs, or from estimating repair costs, on a property they have inspected. An inspector who can profit from the problems he finds has a reason to find them.
You get a plain account of what is wrong and how serious it is. A licensed contractor prices and fixes it, and we will come back and re-inspect the work at a minimal fee.
