 Advantages to the Real Estate Agent
- Reports help sellers see their homes through the eyes of a critical, third-party, thus making sellers more realistic about asking price.
- Agents are alerted to any immediate safety issues found, before other agents and potential buyers tour the home.
Repairs made ahead of time might make homes show better.
- The reports provide third-party, unbiased opinions to offer to potential buyers.
Clean reports can be used as marketing tools to help sell the homes.
- Reports might relieve prospective buyer's unfounded suspicions, before they walk away.
- Seller inspections eliminate buyer's remorse that sometimes occurs just after an inspection.
- Seller inspections reduce the need for negotiations and 11th-hour renegotiations.
- Seller inspections relieve the agent of having to hurriedly procure repair estimates or schedule repairs.
- The reports might encourage buyers to waive their inspection contingencies.
- Deals are less likely to fall apart the way they often do when buyer's inspections unexpectedly reveal problems, last minute.
- Agents can recommend certified NACHI inspectors as opposed to being at the mercy of buyer's choices in inspectors.
- Sellers can schedule the inspections at seller's convenience with little effort on the part of agents.
- Sellers can assist inspectors during the inspections, something normally not done during buyer's inspections.
