Two Categories of Home Sellers
As a home seller, you most likely fall into one of two categories.
In the first category, you’re ready to sell your house ASAP. You’re okay with sacrificing a higher selling price for the sake of a quick, simple sale. If that’s the case, skip the home inspection. But know that you’ll probably end up making less money on your home.
In the second category, you’re ready to maximize your profit on your home. You’ve invested time, cash, and effort into your house. Now, you’re ready to see high returns.
If that’s the case, a home inspection is absolutely the right option for you.You may even consider an Arizona well inspection, or termite inspection.
Think of it this way. If you wanted to buy a used Lexus, you could go to the dealership and buy a certified, pre-owned vehicle. You have the assurance of knowing that Lexus has inspected this vehicle carefully, performed necessary repairs, and provided a warranty.
Or, you could go on Craiglist and find some random guy selling a Lexus. You’re going to pay less money for the vehicle than you would at the dealership…but you won’t know much about the car itself.
Neither option is necessarily better. But clearly, one option offers you peace of mind in exchange for higher investment upfront.
