When you’re getting ready to put your home on the market, it’s important to consider that you’ll probably have plenty of competition in today’s market climate here in Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads. Your main objective is to make your home stand out and remove any question from the buyer’s mind that the home is ready for them to move into.

I often advise potential sellers that a pre-listing home inspection is a good way to differentiate your home from your competition. One of the main concerns of any buyer would be how the home has been maintained and what problems currently exist. You can remove doubt by having a home inspection and repairing any items that are found by the inspectors. The advantage to doing this in the beginning is that few sellers consider this option, and that makes your home stand out.

A home inspection will provide you with a comprehensive evaluation of your home from top to bottom, highlighting any areas that need attention. Once problems are repaired, and issues rectified, the inspection report and repair receipts can be provided to potential buyers as proof that you’re serious about selling. Buyers will typically want to have their own inspection as well, but at that time they’re already under contract to buy your home, which is our main goal.
