If you're selling your home, there are a number of ways you can save money before the sale.
One trend we see a lot now is buyers really scrutinizing homes during the inspection period. Sellers can save time and money by hiring an inspector of their own before selling. We call this a pre-inspection. This will help sellers find issues before buyers or their inspectors have the chance to find them and mitigate any surprises before buyers see them. With a pre-inspection, sellers can save money by making repairs on their own terms.

Get a pre-inspection so you can make repairs on your own terms, not the buyer's.

You can also save up to 50% of the cost by telling the inspector that you don't need a report, which can be time-consuming. Instead, just ask to walk through the property with the inspector so they can point out where issues might arise. No two inspectors are the same, but it's worth the investment.
