Key Benefits of Elite Group Home Inspection's Seller Advantage Program

Today's real estate market is clearly on the side of buyers. Buyers have lower sales prices, motivated sellers, lower interest rates as well as a large selection of housing inventory. What can Sellers do to gain a fair hand in the real estate game? Elite Home Inspection has come up with a creative package to give some needed help to California SELLERS called the Seller Advantage Program.

Once a home has been pinpointed and escrow has been opened with the consent of both buyers and sellers, buyers are entitled to conduct a home inspection as part of their investigation period. However, the buyers are usually responsible for the cost of a home inspection which can run from $250 or more depending on the size of the house and what home inspection company is used.

An adverse item that is found with the house via the home inspection can prompt buyers to cancel the transaction. If buyers are unable to negotiate a remedy with the sellers in a timely manner, then buyers can exercise their option to terminate the sale. When findings on a home inspection causes buyers to back out from a transaction, time & money is wasted for all those involved. A few 'costs' that can incur is the fact that sellers must put the house back on the market, Realtors need to re-sell/re-negotiate the home again, escrow can also charge cancellation fees.

Elite Home Inspection's Seller Advantage Program can help to prevent an escrow fall out by bringing out all facts about the house before buyers actually put in an offer. Elite works with the Seller and their Realtor to help get the property sold by encouraging a pre-inspection via the Seller Advantage Program. By performing a pre-inspection or inspection before opening escrow, the Sellers are able to discover what repairs are needed in their home beforehand. This allows Sellers to prepare their homes for sale by doing the repairs, get estimates on the repair work, or adjust their listing price to reflect the needed work. It also gives buyers the security in knowing what they can expect from the home prior to placing an offer. As a result, fewer cancellations occur in the middle of escrow.
