Take Control of Your Sale with a Pre-Inspection

Avoid Surprises, Price with Confidence

Worried about deal-killing surprises during buyer inspections? A pre-inspection puts you back in the driver’s seat.

More sellers are discovering the power of pre-inspections to streamline their home sales. A home inspection in the Denver metro area with a sewer scope and radon test is likely to cost between $600 and $1,200. A general home inspection typically costs from $400 to $700. By investing in an inspection upfront, you gain valuable control over the selling process.

Why Get a Pre-Inspection?

Price with Confidence
Know exactly what you’re selling. Whether you discover minor issues to fix or major repairs you’d rather not tackle, you can set your asking price based on facts, not guesswork.

Prevent Deal-Breakers
Nothing derails a sale faster than unexpected inspection surprises. When buyers know what they’re getting upfront, they’re far less likely to walk away or demand last-minute concessions.

Negotiate from Strength
Transparency builds trust. Buyers appreciate knowing a home’s condition from day one, which often leads to smoother negotiations and faster closings. Plus, if you’ve addressed issues proactively, you may justify a higher asking price.

How It Works

Schedule your inspection before listing. Once you receive the report, you have options:

  • Fix issues that make financial sense
  • Adjust your price to reflect as-is conditions
  • Provide documentation to serious buyers, demonstrating transparency

The entire inspection typically takes 2-3 hours, and you’ll have results within 24-48 hours. Radon inspections require that a radon detector is set up in your home and left for 48 hours.

The Bottom Line

While spending money before selling might seem counterintuitive, think of a pre-inspection as insurance against price reductions, extended market time, and failed deals. The peace of mind—for both you and your buyers—is often worth far more than the inspection cost.
