Pre-Listing

When selling your home, it is very likely that your goal is to maximize your profit with a quick and problem-free sale. For sellers, a home inspection gives you the opportunity to identify any deficiencies and address any concerns that could impact your listing price, drag out negotiations, or jeopardize the sale of your home. When you have lived in your home for a while, you may become used to certain shortcomings or be unaware of the aging aspects of your home that need attention. An experienced and knowledgeable inspector can bring a fresh perspective and help you identify deficiencies in your home. A pre-listing inspection includes the evaluation of:

• Exterior: roof and gutter systems, siding, foundation, soil grading, windows and doors, exterior electrical, venting, garage foundation and electrical wiring.
• Interior: attic, insulation, plumbing and water flow, interior electrical systems, heating and cooling, walls, ceiling, floors, basement, structural components, interior doors and trim.

A Mellon pre-listing inspection includes a skilled visual inspection of these components, but also advanced inspection techniques using thermal and infrared technologies, air and water quality assessment tools, and more. This information allows you to get ahead of issues to make your sale profitable and as easy as possible.
