Home Inspection for Sellers: Enhance Your Selling Process with Seller's Inspection
Are you planning to sell your home? A Seller’s Inspection, also known as a pre-listing inspection, can be a valuable tool to streamline your selling process and maximize your property’s potential. At Turnkey Home Inspections, we offer comprehensive home inspection services tailored specifically for sellers. Our team of experienced and certified home inspectors will thoroughly assess your property, providing you with the necessary insights and information to make informed decisions.
Sellers Inspection
Our Seller’s Inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of your property’s condition. We assess all major systems, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, structural components, and more. By identifying any potential issues upfront, you can proactively address them, enhance your property’s marketability, and potentially avoid last-minute surprises during the buyer’s inspection.
Sellers' Rights During Home Inspection
At Turnkey Home Inspections, we believe in empowering sellers with knowledge about their rights during the home inspection. We ensure that you have the right to be present during the inspection, ask questions, and seek clarifications from our inspectors. We respect your privacy while providing access to necessary areas of the property.
Seller's Attendance During the Inspection
While it’s not mandatory for sellers to be present during the inspection, we encourage your participation. Attending the inspection allows you to gain firsthand knowledge of any issues identified, address concerns, and ask questions directly to our inspectors. We strive to create a collaborative environment that supports your selling process.
Comprehensive Property Assessment
Our skilled inspectors will visit the property and conduct a thorough examination of its structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, insulation, and more. We utilize advanced tools and techniques to identify any hidden issues.
Detailed Reporting and Findings: Following the inspection, we compile a comprehensive report that provides an overview of the property’s condition. Our reports include detailed descriptions, photographs, and recommendations for repairs or further evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Buying or selling a home can be a stressful experience, but we’re here to ensure you know what to expect during your home inspection.
A home inspection includes checking for any structural issues such as foundation cracks, roof leaks, plumbing issues, electrical wiring, heating/cooling systems, insulation, windows, doors, chimneys, etc. Depending on how big the property is, a home inspection typically takes 2-3 hours.
Ensure all inspection points are free from clutter, including any closets that might lead to a crawlspace or attic, and clearing some space around your home’s perimeter. It’s also important to check the functionality of all built-in appliances, electric, and gas. If you don’t plan to attend the inspection, make sure your inspector has access to the home, and all pets are properly contained or moved.
A home doesn’t pass or fail an inspection. Instead, a home inspection is a thorough audit of your home’s components. In most cases, there will be concerns marked on your home inspection report, but these are strictly informative.
While you can legally skip a home inspection in many cases, doing so could mean you may end up buying a home that has major issues that need to be fixed.
While a home inspector may recommend some minor repairs, they are not qualified to make major repairs. He or she can provide information about what needs to be repaired — and it might be helpful to know that information — but the decision to actually do the work lies solely with the homeowner. Not only does this give you the freedom to choose your contractors, but it also helps prevent a conflict of interest.
A home inspection can affect appraisals for two reasons: 1) The inspector may find something wrong with the property that would lower the value of the home, 2) The inspector may find things that need repair which could increase the value of the home. If the inspection finds issues that require repairs, then the seller has to decide whether they want to fix them themselves, or hire someone else to do it. If the buyer wants to purchase the home, he/she must be willing to pay for those repairs.
