For Sellers
Find out what the buyer’s inspector is going to call out before your home hits the market, while you still have time to fix it, price it in or disclose it.
Every buyer is going to get an inspection. A pre-listing inspection just lets you see that report first. I inspect the home the same way I would for a buyer, then walk you through what’s likely to come up.

In this video I’m on the roof, in the attic and around the outside of a seller’s home, pointing out what a buyer’s inspector is likely to write up and what’s not worth worrying about.
Some of it is quick: cutting back vegetation, clearing roof debris, adding a missing outlet cover. Some of it is worth planning for, like a stem wall crack that should be patched or grading that sends water toward the house.

More from a pre-listing walkthrough: tree roots lifting the sidewalk, a stem wall corner crack, a broken backwash valve at the pool and flat backyard grading. Easier to fix before a buyer’s inspector finds them.
I went back after a seller made repairs and found a truss repair with no engineer’s sticker, a new breaker behind the panel cover and hot and cold reversed at the faucet.
If the home has a pool, solar or an older sewer line, those are the places buyers dig in. A sewer camera inspection, a pool & spa inspection or a solar inspection lets you see what they’ll see. Every inspection already includes a termite (WDO) inspection at no extra charge.
If I did your pre-listing inspection, I can come back for a reinspection to check the repairs. Reinspections are $150 and available only for homes Property Inspections Plus inspected.
