Consider doing a home inspection before selling your home

If you’re thinking about selling your home in Hesperia it would be prudent to consider having a seller’s home inspection completed before putting your home on the market.  It is rare these days that a buyer will not have a home inspection done before closing and knowing of any problems and taking care of them prior to selling can alleviate the pain that surprise issues can bring.  It is not uncommon for sellers to be surprised with unknown problems when a home inspection is done. 

Repairs taken care of prior to entering into a contract have three distinct advantages:

1.      Your home will be in tip top condition and you can price it with confidence.  If you elect not to do the repairs you will at least know what’s in front of you before you accept an offer.

2.      Any repairs you elect to do to get your home ready for sale can be completed without the buyer looking over your shoulder.

3.      Homes in tip top condition historically sell fast and for a higher price than the repairs would cost.  Buyers repeatedly tend to over estimate how much repairs actually cost.

It is a competitive real estate market in Hesperia.  A seller’s best chance of finding a good buyer comes from having the homes in top notch condition.  More that looking good a home needs to function well and it is important to examine the bones.  A home inspection will inform the buyer of faulty plumbing, wiring, heating and cooling issues, the need for roof replacement, painting, etc.

If problems with a property are faced and dealt with before selling, there should be no surprises when going through the contractual steps before closing.
