The seller gets to have some control over the repair process and since they know what the impact of repairs are, they can make intelligent decisions about offers and prices. On the other hand, the buyer is getting a home in better repair with any issues fully disclosed in the inspection report. I will always have any home I'm personally selling inspected before it is listed. Hi Paula,

On the other hand, the buyer is getting a home in better repair with any issues fully disclosed in the inspection report. I will always have any home I’m personally selling inspected before it is listed.

Negotiations tend to be more positive. When the seller waits until after an accepted contract, the buyer has a chance to pick the place apart, based on an inspection. --Paula Bob - Having an inspection before the listing is just a smart business decision.
