Re: Certified pre-owned homes
Terry,
That's a great disclaimer for the seller's inspection. I have something similar, but not as well put together.
I have two levels of a seller's inspection - it depends on the seller's needs... I can do a quick inspection, like a "4point" inspection, roof, HVAC, Electric service panel, and plumbing, or I can do a regular inspection. Many of the seller's inspections I do, the owner already has knowledge of the cosmetic stuff, doors and windows that stick, etc. I focus more on the stuff the homeowner doesn't know about, or has forgotten. In one house, the owner had installed batts of insulation upside-down. In another, the GFCI's didn't work.
It was said elsewhere, the pre-listing or seller's inspection is for the marketing... it brings up those things the seller will need to take care of. But, I've also had more than one seller say that it brought them peace of mind - they can rest easy that there were no major problems - nobody wants to hear about those from the buyer's inspector!!!
