Welcome Home Sellers. DHI looks forward to contributing to the successful sale of your current home by providing professional pre-sale home inspection services.

Having your home inspected prior to permitting buyers to view the property has many distinct advantages. One of the key benefits will be your preparedness for the sale; if any problems are discovered that need to be repaired, you can have the repairs done on your own terms, on your own schedule, saving you money.

Our experience has shown that most homes that receive a pre-sale home inspection spend less time on the market and sell at prices closer to the listing price.

Our report will provide prospective buyers peace of mind and may limit price negotiations during the sales process. You’ll also have an advantage over other properties the buyer is considering that may not have a report available.

At best, surprise problems uncovered by the buyer’s inspector may cause delays in closing, and you will usually have to pay for repairs at the last minute, or accept a lower price on your home. With the condition of the property being a distinct differentiator, why not be prepared and ready, rather than unprepared and reactionary.

If repairs are needed, you have two alternatives:
1. You can elect to make the needed repairs, providing our inspection report and documentation that the work was performed (receipts and warranties) to all potential buyers as they preview your home.
2. You can elect not to make the repairs, taking into consideration the problem areas as you decide on your listing price and subsequent buyer negotiations.

Either way, you are well positioned, having both knowledge and time on your side.

At DHI, we have compiled a list of many common defects that impact the sale of your home. Here are some areas you can review for yourself and correct as necessary.
