Selling Charlottesville real estate in Central Virginia since 1927

IN EVERYONE’S BEST INTEREST

October 16, 2006

A home inspection conducted on behalf of the buyer prior to closing once may have been considered to be potentially problematic. Over time, however, a professional home inspection has come to be regarded as a vehicle for avoiding complications. This enlightened attitude stems from the fact that both buyers and sellers are well served by having all the available facts on hand before entering into serious negotiations.

With this in mind, the savvy seller may offer a comprehensive home inspection by a reputable and independent contractor as a sales tool. If trust is the cornerstone of a solid deal, sellers have every reason to preemptively offer prospective buyers the findings of a professional home inspection. If you are selling, be aware that our area is fast becoming a buyer's market. Make all needed repairs unless you want your house to be regarded as a fixer-upper. Anything that's obviously broken gives potential buyers a reason to offer you a lower price.

Listing your home with ROY WHEELER REALTY CO. gives you the advantage of having a team of experts apply themselves to the task of finding you a qualified buyer as quickly as possible. Since 1927 we have served the real estate needs of the Central Virginia community.
