As a current homeowner, you probably understand the importance of having a home inspected before you make a purchase.  It would be safe to say that any potential home buyer will have the same knowledge and understanding. 

Therefore, here a few of the reasons why a seller would benefit by having their home inspected prior to the first potential buyer ever visiting their home.

• Letting the potential buyer know that you are sincere in your efforts to present your homes condition fairly and accurately makes it more marketable and more attractive to the buyer. 

• As a seller, you have a clear understanding of items that may show up on a buyer's inspection eliminating prolonged contract negotiations.

• Virtually eliminates potential legal liability for not disclosing problems with your home to prospective buyers.

• It gives you a stronger negotiating position by knowing first hand the condition of your home.
