How much does an inspection cost?
A pre-listing inspection is a home inspection that is preformed before the home goes
on the market. The benefits of this inspection help to create a powerful marketing
tool that can be used during the process of selling a home.

Pre-Listing Home Inspections
How Do Pre-Listing Inspections Work?
I complete the inspection and leave a Home Reference Book with the completed report at
the home. This should be displayed for prospective buyers to look at during open
houses and showings.
If you wish to make any improvements to the home, you may attach any receipts for work
completed to the summary reports. I will revisit the home after the work is completed. I
will revise the home after the work is completed and adjust the report and summary
report as needed. (The fee for this is usually $150)
The pre-listing inspection report can be referenced in the listings.
When the home is sold the Home Reference Book and the report are left at the home for
the buyer.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
