The problem
The Pre-Listing Blind Spot
Inspection surprises become negotiation leverage
Issues found on inspection day often become price reduction requests or conditions of sale. When buyers find something unexpected, they tend to negotiate harder than the issue warrants.
You do not know which issues are serious versus cosmetic
Without a building-science review, you are guessing what to fix. The wrong repairs waste money. The right ones protect your sale price and prevent last-minute renegotiations.
Issues are usually cheaper to address before listing
Addressing a concern on your own timeline, with competitive quotes, almost always costs less than scrambling under buyer pressure with closing deadlines.
