“Certified, Pre-Owned Homes” Sell Faster

Yes, it’s TRUE!

I want to share how you can sell your home for

More Money, Less Time on the Market and With Less Hassle!

Now I know you are asking yourself,

“What is a Certified, Pre-Owned Home?”

It means that your home has been inspected by a Licensed Home Inspector and it meets special guidelines for quality and excellence.

As you know, potential home buyers want to purchase a home that is in the best condition possible, no matter the age of the home. The current “buyer’s market” has MANY homes to choose from, so you need every possible advantage to make YOUR home more attractive to potential buyers! Having a Home Inspection and repairing any “unknown problems” before your buyers see it for the 1^st time, will allow that 1st IMPRESSION to be a great one and possibly save you from any SURPRISES that could delay your closing!

Your home will be in better condition for viewing, making it more marketable and this will help you to attain the maximum selling price for the home. Statistics show that 87% of home buyers do not order a home inspection on pre-inspected homes.

To schedule a home inspection, or to ask questions, please call us at (985)892-5858

Prior to your inspection, make sure that the following items are operable:

Utilities - Water, Electricity, and Gas should all be on at the time of inspection.

Doors - All exterior and interior doors should be unlocked and accessible.

Attic - Remove any stored items which could restrict or hinder access to the attic.

Gas Appliances - Be sure all heating systems and water heaters are operational. Pilot lights should always be lit. If pilot lights are not lit and/or valves are off, the inspector will be unable to properly inspect the operation of the appliances they serve.

These preparations will make the process easier for the inspector and less time consuming and disruptive for you.

Buyer
The prospective purchaser of a home is entitled to know the true condition of the home considered for purchase. It is important that an account of any needed repairs and cost estimates be considered in order to make an informed decision.

Seller
Unknown defects to the seller often lead to delays and added negotiation in a real estate transaction. Accurate disclosure regarding the condition of the property will increase the likelihood of a successful close of escrow.

Owner
A systematic evaluation of the home with documentation of findings can be used to troubleshoot problems and develop a repair and maintenance strategy. This will help to extend the life of the systems and components in the home and remedy items before they become a major expense.
