Our homes are a place of peace and solitude, a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of time spent at work and in other public places. We take pride in keeping them clean and comfortable, knowing its foundation is strong and all systems are working properly.
When it’s time to move on to another home, for whatever reason, we can help assure the buyer that this home is solid and will serve them as well as it has us. How can we do that, you ask? With a pre-listing home inspection.
What is a pre-listing home inspection?

You can fix what you want and disclose the rest or sell as is. With a pre-listing inspection, you show the buyer you have nothing to hide, and this offers confidence to the buyer that you have taken good care of the home and you want them to know how good and sound it is.
