How a Seller's Home Inspection Helps You Save Money and Avoid Surprises

A pre-listing inspection from VA Home Inspect, LLC is just like our standard home inspection, except that the seller is the client, so the seller receives the inspection report before the house goes on the market.

How a Seller's Home Inspection Helps You Save Money and Avoid Surprises

How can a seller use a pre-listing inspection to make more money on the sale of their home?

1. Take Repairs Off the Negotiation Table

Disclosing issues upfront lets buyers know that any necessary repairs have already been considered in the listing price. This transparency builds trust and can prevent buyers from using inspection findings as leverage for price reductions later.

2. Maintain Control Over Repairs
With a pre-listing inspection, the seller has the option to make repairs on their own timeline, using contractors of their choice. This approach avoids the last-minute rush and inflated repair costs that often arise when buyers demand quick fixes during escrow.

3. Avoid Price Reductions and Failed Deals

When deals fall through after the buyer’s inspection, sellers often face price reductions or must relist the home—often at a lower price. A pre-listing inspection helps ensure the deal closes with the first buyer, saving time, money, and stress.

4. Present Competitive Repair Quotes

If you choose not to make repairs yourself, you can still gather quotes from local contractors and present them to the buyer. This prevents buyers from overestimating repair costs and making disproportionately low offers.

5. Build Buyer Confidence & Fuel Competition

Sharing a professional inspection report from the start can make buyers feel more secure about submitting an offer—or even bidding above asking price in a competitive market. It demonstrates that the home has been well cared for and helps justify the value.

New Construction Home Inspections

Even brand-new homes can have problems—and they often do. While new construction may look flawless on the surface, it's actually a complex system of structural elements, mechanical systems, and finishes, all installed by multiple contractors on tight timelines. Despite the best intentions, mistakes happen, and oversights are common.

A new

A new construction home inspection from VA Home Inspect, LLC is designed to identify issues before you take ownership, giving you a critical opportunity to request corrections during your final walk-through with the builder.

Common issues we often find in new construction homes include roofing defects such as improperly installed flashing or loose shingles, HVAC problems like disconnected ducts, inadequate airflow, or missing insulation, plumbing issues including leaks at shutoff valves, improperly secured pipes, or reversed hot and cold lines, and electrical concerns such as missing GFCI protection, open grounds, or incorrectly wired outlets.

We also frequently encounter structural deficiencies like uneven subfloors, poorly installed stairs, or missing framing hardware, exterior drainage problems such as negative grading or unsealed utility penetrations, and interior finish issues like cracked drywall, unsealed trim, or misaligned doors and windows. In many cases, attic insulation gaps and improper ventilation setups are also present, reducing energy efficiency and comfort.

Many of these issues may not be visible to the untrained eye—but they can affect your comfort, safety, and long-term maintenance costs. Identifying them early ensures the builder can address them before you move in, saving you time, hassle, and money later on.

At VA Home Inspect, LLC, we provide detailed, unbiased new construction inspections across Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Maryland. Our certified home inspector, Joseph Najm, will walk you through the findings, answer your questions, and deliver a clear, photo-rich report within 24 hours.

Trust VA Home Inspect to help ensure your new home is truly move-in ready.

4-Point Inspection
