Why should a seller list their home as Move-In Certified?

  • Buyers are much more likely to waive their inspection contingency when they have the assurance of a Move-In Certified® inspection report.
  • Managing your client – A pre-listing inspection gives the home seller an unbiased perspective on the condition and value of their home, helping you to work with them on setting a realistic asking price.
  • Your clients (sellers) can schedule the inspection at their convenience, with little effort on your part and no pressing contingency deadline.
  • No nasty surprises – Repairs can be made ahead of time and will help the home show better.
  • Fewer renegotiations – Less time wasted on rushing to get estimates and manage repair timelines while the potential buyer waits.
  • The homeowner (your client) gets to participate in the inspection, allowing the inspector to quickly discover more background about installations, repairs and modifications than would be readily visible during a solo visual inspection.
  • The Move-In Certified® inspection report can be used as a marketing tool that goes beyond the seller’s disclosure. Offering the report up-front builds trust in the realtor and the seller since it is from an independent third party.
  • Ever had an unexpected problem crop up in a buyer’s inspection and ruin a deal you’ve worked hard to close? A pre-listing inspection means a much lower likelihood of undiscovered defects by closing.
  • Any misstatements in the inspection report can be discussed and corrected before it is generated and shown to prospective buyers.
