Pre-Listing (Seller’s) Inspection

A pre-listing inspection flips the usual timing: instead of finding out about issues after a buyer’s inspection threatens to derail your deal, you find out first — while you still control the timeline and the options.

We proudly serve Indianapolis, Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville, Greenwood, Franklin, Avon, Zionsville, Fishers, and Beech Grove — and the surrounding Central Indiana communities.

Why Sellers in Central Indiana Use This

In a competitive local market, a surprise finding at the buyer’s inspection stage can mean a renegotiated price, a delayed closing, or a deal falling through entirely. A pre-listing inspection lets you address issues proactively, get ahead of repairs on your own schedule and with your own contractor of choice, and list with a clear, documented picture of your home’s condition.

What’s Included

• Same comprehensive scope as our buyer’s inspection: roof, exterior, foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and interior systems
• Report delivered to you (and your agent, if you choose) rather than a buyer
• Optional add-ons: radon, sewer scope, WDO/termite inspection

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to fix everything the inspection finds?
No — the report is for your information and planning. That said, Indiana’s Residential Real Estate Sales Disclosure Form requires you to disclose known material defects, so it’s worth discussing findings with your agent.

Will this replace the buyer’s own inspection?
Usually not — most buyers will still order their own inspection. What a pre-listing inspection does is reduce surprises and give you leverage and preparation time.

How soon before listing should I schedule this?
As soon as you’re planning to list, ideally several weeks out, so you have time to address anything significant before your home goes on the market.
