Chapter 01

Read your own house before the buyer's inspector does

Every house that goes on the market gets inspected by someone. The only choice is whether the first person to find the problems is you or the buyer's inspector, two weeks into a contract.

A pre-listing inspection puts that first look in your hands. I assess every part of the home before it hits the market, so a leaking line, a tired panel or a roof issue shows up on your schedule instead of in the middle of closing.

The same scope a buyer's inspector will cover

I look at the home the way a buyer's inspector will: roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and the structure around them. After 23 years in construction, I know which issues are specific to Brevard County homes and which ones others tend to miss.

I use up-to-date tools and techniques, and the report arrives as an exhaustive digital document with clear findings. You can share it with potential buyers, which shows them you have already done the homework.

Chapter 03

Repair it, disclose it or price it in

Once you can see the list, you can choose what to do with each item.

Some findings are worth fixing before photos are taken. Some are worth disclosing up front. Some are better priced into the listing. Either way, you go into negotiations knowing your home's condition, with a smoother closing and more confidence from buyers. Residential inspections start at $250, based on square footage, and I serve all of Brevard County Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
