Seller inspection

Pre-listing inspections for New York sellers

Find out what the buyer's inspector will find, weeks before they find it. Then fix it, price it in, or disclose it on your terms.

Why sellers inspect first

Most deals that fall apart in New York fall apart after the buyer's inspection. A surprise like an old oil tank, a double-tapped panel or water in the basement turns into a credit request or a walk-away, usually days before the contract deadline when you have the least room to respond.

A pre-listing inspection moves that moment to before you list:

  • Fix the cheap things like loose railings, missing GFCIs, a dead smoke detector, or a dripping trap. They look bad in a buyer's report and cost very little.
  • Get quotes on the big things so a buyer can't anchor on a worst-case number.
  • Price with confidence, and give your agent a clean report to share with buyers.

What to do with the report

Talk to your agent and attorney about whether to share it. Many sellers hand the report and the repair receipts to buyers, which shortens inspection negotiations considerably.

Questions

Will the buyer still do their own inspection?
Usually, yes. The difference is that their inspector won't find surprises, because you already dealt with them or disclosed them.
When should I schedule it?
Two to four weeks before listing, so you have time to make repairs and get quotes.
Do I have to share the report?
That's a decision for you and your attorney. Many sellers share it because it builds buyer confidence.
