If you are planning on selling your home, a home inspection prior to placing your home on the market will provide you with the understanding of the conditions of your home, allowing you to make the decisions on how to handle them versus the buyer’s inspection discovering them potentially causing problems with the sale of your home. Move-In Certified™ pre-listing home inspection can help in the sale of your home

Advantages of selling a home that has been Move-In Certified™ include:

• A Move-In Certified™ seller inspection is the ultimate gesture in forthrightness on the part of the seller.
• The seller can choose a certified InterNACHI inspector to inspect the home properly before the buyer's inspector arrives.
• The seller can schedule the inspection at his or her own convenience.
• The seller can assist the inspector during the inspection -- something not normally done during a buyer's inspection.
• Move-In Certified™ yard signs attract potential buyers.
• A seller inspection reveals problems ahead of time, which:
  • gives the seller time to shop for competitively-priced contractors to make repairs;
  • permits the seller to attach repair estimates or paid invoices to the inspection report;
  • makes the home show better after problems are addressed; and
  • removes over-inflated buyer-procured repair estimates from the negotiation table.

There are other distinct advantages of having a Move-In Certified™ inspection report, including:

• The seller is given an opportunity to dispute any misstatements in the inspection report before it is distributed to real estate agents and prospective buyers.
• The report provides an unbiased, third-party, professional opinion to potential buyers.
• The report may encourage the buyer to waive the inspection contingency, so the deal is less likely to fall apart the way they often do when a buyer's inspection reveals unexpected problems at the last minute.
• The report can be hosted on www.FetchReport.com, which can be used as an effective marketing tool.
• The report can help the seller realistically price the home if problems exist.
• The report can help the seller substantiate a higher asking price if problems don't exist or have been corrected.
• The report may relieve a prospective buyer's unfounded suspicions, before he walks away.
• The report provides full-disclosure protection from future legal claims.
