You may have been aware of the importance of getting a home inspection in Orlando before signing the dotted sheet. A home inspection can uncover serious and expensive problems before buying a house. You will need to decide if the report will be rectified or whether you want to purchase the house.

What if you are the home seller? Although many people may think the seller would not need a home inspector to inspect their property, they are wrong. Cumberland Inspection Service experts will explain why home sellers should have a home inspection done before putting up a sign for sale. 

BE PROACTIVE

You may not have noticed the potential problems that could be found when a buyer does their research on your house. Perhaps your roof is about to expire after it has been too many hailstorms. Perhaps you were selling your childhood home and didn’t know that asbestos-containing materials were used in its construction.

Most people want to sell their houses quickly. Perhaps you are counting on the proceeds from your home sale for funds to purchase your next home. Perhaps your spouse is moving to another state, and you need to sell your house quickly so that you don’t worry about how to maintain it until it sells.

If time is critical (and often is), a home inspection before you begin selling could save you valuable time. It’s better to have a home inspection done before you sell if there is a significant problem.

Accelerate the Selling Process

Time is often a crucial factor in selling a house. There are often many steps in the home-buying process that are beyond your control. It can take weeks for the seller to schedule a home inspector. You can take control of the next step by having a copy of your recent home inspection report available and ready for the buyer’s review.

ADVANTAGE OVER OTHER SELLER

If you are selling a home in a hurry or in competitive markets, it can be a real advantage to have the inspection completed before selling. Buyers (who might also be in a hurry) will have the ability to purchase a house quickly while still having peace of mind knowing that it has been inspected recently.
