***INSPECTION IS THE CURE***

It takes an innovative marketing plan to cause a home to sell. But to attract serious buyers it must also be priced fairly. Buyers are in search of their dream home. If priced reasonably they will purchase the home that best reflects their idea of that dream.   It’s the seller who is in charge of making it happen!

  

 Statistics show that buyers will reduce their offers as low as $2 for every $1 in uncompleted repairs. Sellers will not have to face these disappointing offers if attention is shown. The best method for improving buyers appeal is to have a home inspection done by a licensed home inspector. A qualified home inspector will find those hidden damages and then suggest needed repairs and cosmetic improvements. With this information the seller should plan their budget for repairs.

  

 After all repairs are completed, the seller should have their home inspector conduct a final walk through at no cost. (Make sure you negotiate the final walk through in advance.)   No one should see the home until it is in top marketable condition. Repairs that are not completed at the showing are an open invitation to a reduced price. When a buyer is disappointed, no explanation will bring the price back up. When selling, ask your real estate agent for advice and/or referral and then take action by getting a home inspection early in the selling process.
