Pre- Purchase Inspection Pre Market Inspection

Home inspections, performed as a condition of the offer, can kill deals. At times this is because the buyer gets cold feet during the ten day inspection period (Free look); sometimes there's a big problem no one knew about. Every now and then it is because the house has been misrepresented; now and again it is because the home inspector scared the buyers by not explaining that insignificant and common problems are just that - insignificant and typical for a home of the same age and configuration.
If the home inspection is performed prior to the house being listed, all parties will be aware of the physical condition of the house before an offer is placed on the home by a prospective buyer. There will be no surprises after the fact. Deals will not fall through the crack.

There is no doubt that part of the value of a home inspection is a guided tour of the house for the prospective purchaser. You’re A PROtected professional can return to do a walk-through with the new purchaser, if requested.

Pre-inspected Guarantee Protected listings will only have value if the home inspection company is perceived to be reputable, qualified and properly insured. Prospective purchasers will have little or no faith in a report done by someone they perceive to be in the sellers', or REALTORS® pocket. A pre-inspected listing from A PROtected assures prospective buyers that the home they are considering has received the most thorough, professional home inspection available in the industry.

In a buyers' market, most houses have to be sold three times. It takes a lot of work to get a listing and then a signed Agreement of Purchase and Sale . Then the home inspection is done and the buyer wants to renegotiate.
If all parties know the condition of the house prior to the offer, there is no need for renegotiation. As most real estate agents know, renegotiation is very difficult. Sellers have already mentally sold the house; buyers are suffering buyers' remorse. Egos, pride and frustration can muddy the already emotional waters.
A seller who pays for a home inspection will be further ahead than one who has to renegotiate. He or she in most cases will sell the house faster.

Our reporting system is the most comprehensive in the industry, reporting not only the deficiencies, but the positive attributes of the home as well.

An inspection at the time of listing can also help a REALTOR® deal with a seller who has unrealistic expectations of the asking price. The inspection report is a good way of explaining to the seller why they can't ask top dollar for a house that is not in top condition.

Repairs done prior to the sale are proactive rather than reactive

Sometimes the home inspection will reveal items which should be repaired immediately. A pre-inspected listing allows the seller to repair the problem prior to putting the house on the market. This is proactive rather than reactive at the time of sale.
If the inspection occurs after the Agreement of Purchase and Sale , the purchaser could walk, renegotiate or depending on the inspection clause, the seller may have an option to repair. A repair done by an unmotivated seller to satisfy the condition may not be the best repair and may not meet the purchaser's expectations. This is a common problem in real estate sales and has caused more than one deal not to close.

The Certified Inspection Report is a tool for negotiating the sale. You can justify the asking price of the house to the prospective buyer on the basis of whether or not the repairs that were revealed by the inspection have been completed. For example, you can explain to the buyer that the reason you are selling the house for X amount is because the inspection discovered roof problems. Whether you present your prospect with a receipt showing the roof has been fixed since the inspection or tell the prospect the roof still needs to be repaired, you can use the Certified Inspection Report to justify the asking price.

A sign that says “Certified Pre-Owned Home™” has threefold marketing power. It can be used as a benefit to enhance your chances of getting a listing. It makes that house more marketable in the MLS and other advertisements. Plus, it gives prospective buyers peace of mind.

At A PROtected, we believe that the future of real estate sales and home inspections rests in Pre-Inspected/Guarantee Protected listings (Certified Pre-Owned Homes™). Offers are cleaner, redhibition claims are more uncommon, and deals are less likely to be renegotiated or fall through during the 10-day inspection period. Certified Pre-Owned™ listings offer purchasers, sellers and REALTORS® the confidence and safeguards they demand. After the inspection is complete, the house is warranted until it sells for up to 90days; if a system fails A PROtected repairs or replaces it at our cost excluding any problems noted in the certified inspection report. When the buyer steps into the picture the inspection report is then certified to them at A PROtected the Guarantee options are the best in the U.S.
