Why Pre-Listing Evaluations Are the Secret Sauce Most Sellers Don't Know About
Pre-listing inspections are one of the last unknown secrets of real estate

By Kirk West on Feb 24, 2022
Quick question: Would you rather find out about problems with your house when you're trying to sell it, or after some buyer's inspector discovers them and uses them as negotiation ammunition?
Yeah, we thought so.
The Pre-Listing Game Changer
Most sellers think the inspection happens after they accept an offer. But the smart ones? They get their homes evaluated before they even list. Here's why that's brilliant:
You Control the Narrative Instead of scrambling to respond to buyer inspection demands, you already know what needs attention. Fix what matters, price in what doesn't, and list with confidence. You're not playing defense anymore – you're setting the terms.
Buyers Love Transparency In a market where everyone's tired of bidding wars with no inspection contingencies, a pre-certified home is refreshing. Buyers can bid confidently because they actually understand what they're getting. No surprises, no last-minute drama.
The Numbers Don't Lie Homes with pre-listing evaluations sell 20% faster and for 4% higher prices on average. That's not just marketing speak – that's what happens when buyers don't have to guess about your home's condition.
