I have a client who will be closing on a new house in a few weeks. As you can imagine, she is thrilled with the thought of moving. Not the actual "moving" part, but the excitement that comes with settling into a new home.
The transaction was pain-free, in part because the sellers had the home pre-inspected. Of course, my buyer had an her own inspection, but it was clear that the sellers had taken care of many of the items the buyer's inspector would have found. In fact, it was apparent to the buyer's inspector that there had been a pre-listing inspection. In his words, "most homeowners wouldn't know to address these areas on their own. I'm sure they had someone come in and talk to them about what items may be sticking points for buyers."
That pre-inspection paid off for the buyer and the seller. The seller made changes that readied the home for a quick sale and the buyer had few items that needed attention.
So, in about 10 days my buyer will be in her new home, happy as a clam, and secure in knowing that the house is in great shape. And the sellers will be off on their new adventure, in hopes of finding the next place they will call home. A win-win for all!
