Buying a home without a home inspection is a bit like eloping with a random hottie you met on the subway, only to find out they’ve created an obscure religion called Toadism and spend their weekends paying tribute to the Toad Lord. 🐸

Homes are kind of the same way (stick with me here) because although a house might look great on the outside, there can be some secrets lurking behind new windows and fresh paint. That’s why the smart move is to conduct a thorough home inspection before finalizing your home purchase

Well caps should be secured and tight to create a proper seal to prevent anything from entering the well and contaminating the water. This includes pests/rodents and rainwater/groundwater. 🕷🐍🐁🐝

Here you see a well cap that was not secured at all. All of the screws are loose or missing. If left in this condition you have the possibility of exterior elements contaminating your homes well water.😟

We are required by the WI DNR to take a water samples during our well inspections to make sure that the water you will be drinking in your home is safe for you and your family 😊

Are pre-listing home inspections still a good idea? The short answer is “Yes.” Shifting market conditions create real challenges and opportunities on both sides of the transaction. But in most instances homes that have had a pre-listing inspection sell for more.
It’s to the seller’s advantage to fully understand the home before listing, and it’s also the perfect opportunity to make recommended repairs should they choose to. Homes in better condition usually command a better price. Having a detailed understanding of their home’s condition will help sellers feel confident that they’re getting the best price for their home, which of course reflects well on you. And by having an up-to-date pre-listing inspection in hand to share with potential buyers, you can keep the transaction moving and get to closing faster.
A pre-listing inspection also creates buyer trust through transparency about the home’s condition, avoiding surprises down the road. This information is invaluable when it comes to putting together an offer. A buyer who’s confident about the home and its condition will feel more comfortable offering more money. A comprehensive pre-listing inspection can help you and your clients make it a win-win all around.

Recommended Pre Listing Inspections

Real estate agents work hard for your clients as you prepare to sell their homes. Every step of the process is critical. As a home inspector, we know how important the home inspection is. We will closely communicate with you to schedule the inspection and follow any CDC guidelines for protection and safety. We will explain any new inspection guidelines and emphasize how this process can help sellers in the long run.

Long-Term Benefits
As Agents, you have a challenging job guiding sellers through the process. There is a lot to do, and the tasks can be stressful, so some sellers think about skipping the pre-inspection. Some people do not want to spend the time or money on this step. However, you can explain to your clients that the inspection can identify key repair and maintenance needs before they become an issue. A Pre-Inspection can minimize face to face meetings or the number of people walking through their home. Spending a little money now to make the inspection process easy will save a lot of grief and cash later.

Expectations
When a seller orders an inspection before listing the home, we will carefully look at the plumbing, heating and electrical systems to make sure they are updated and functioning well. We will evaluate the condition of the roof, gutters and chimney. If the roof is missing shingles or has weak spots, the inspection will show the needed repairs. Our inspection will include a look at the foundation, structure and an assessment of any water seepage.

Preparation
Homeowners should do their part in getting ready for a pre-inspection. The home should be uncluttered so we can easily move throughout the home. We will need access to the utility room, plumbing and heating as well as every area of the house. Homeowners should be sure that all lights and outlets are functional, and that the attic is accessible. Fixing broken windows is also a wise idea.

Selling a home can be stressful but we hope to ease your sellers mind by making the sales process a bit easier for everyone.
