Here's Munson's Real Estate tip of the week, for my friends who are
contemplating selling their home – whether to upsize, downsize, capsize
(hopefully not that), whatever... I would encourage you to get a mini-home
inspection (major mechanical systems only) - *before you list your home*.
As
you might expect, your first showings will net your highest price offers. Other realtors will tell you that. Now for my tip: A
mini-inspection costs a fraction of what a full inspection would cost, and will
accomplish three key goals for you once your home is listed: (1) it will help apprise
you of key areas that you can address calmly before prospective buyers see your home, (2) it will assure that your
early showings lead to offers, and (3) it will help you keep the deal intact
during the buyer’s inspection process. Minor items rarely result in major price
reductions.
This one of dozens of little-known or little-practiced ideas
that my wife and I have learned over decades of buying, selling and building our own homes - sometimes lessons learned “the
hard way”. Let me bring all my resources to help you be a good steward of the
property God has already entrusted to you.
