Another way, which I used to use, was to offer a "Technically Exhaustive Inspection" (which would mean me bringing in all trades and structural engineer and going over the house as much as we could, and each trade is now on the hook along with me) for 6% of the sales price or $7,500, whichever is greater.
My theory was, and still is, that if it is worth 6% to SELL a house, then it certainly is worth that same 6% to INSPECT the house to the extent possible.
Never had anyone take me up on it, which was more or less the point of it.
BUT, sure, I would love to have done a Technically Exhaustive Inspection on a $10,000,000 house ( x 6% = $600,000).
I could live off one of those a year, or even every couple of years.
