1. It could save you money.

It can seem daunting to make repairs before you list your home, but it can save you in the long run.

2. It could lead to a faster close.

Getting your house in the best shape possible should help speed up the sale process.

3. It can give you a competitive edge.

A prelisting home inspection can signal to potential buyers that you've done the due diligence on their future home. It can give potential buyers confidence in you as an honest seller and in the quality of the home you are selling.

4. Definitely fix the deal breakers.

5. What should you do if you can't fix the major problems?

If you can't afford to make those major improvements, you can still spruce up the house before you list it.

6. Is there a downside to a prelisting home inspection?

While there are many upsides to getting a prelisting home inspection, some experts don't like the idea. Some pros feel that instead of wasting time and money upfront, a seller should wait for the results of the home inspection and add repairs to the closing cost. While this is an option, you may be hit with a surprise that causes your sale to fall through.

7. Bottom line: Prelisting home inspections are often a good idea.

The prelisting home inspection can put a nervous seller at ease and give you a better chance for a fast and easy close.
