Pre-Listing Inspections: A Secret Weapon for Stale Listings
Why Isn’t This House Selling? A Simple Solution for Today’s Market
With more homes sitting on the market, buyers are becoming cautious — and pickier.
Sometimes it’s not price or marketing holding a house back… it’s something lurking beneath the surface.
A Pre-Listing Home Inspection can help uncover those hidden deal-breakers before buyers do:
✅ Roof nearing the end of its life
✅ HVAC struggling in the heat
✅ Plumbing or electrical quirks buyers will flag
✅ Safety issues: smoke detectors, water heaters, stairs, handrails
Instead of reacting to a buyer’s inspection under pressure, your seller can take control:
➡️ Fix small things now
➡️ Adjust pricing if needed
➡️ Market the home with more confidence
In this shifting market, transparency builds trust and saves time.
A pre-listing inspection shows buyers this home has nothing to hide.
We hope this helps you stay in contact with your clients and help educate them about their home as well. We plan on sending you something to share every month for free. Let us know if you have any ideas you would like us to prepare for the future.
