Traditionally, Home Inspections Have Been For The Sole Benefit Of The
Buyer, Pointing Out Only Problems That Would Adversely Affect The Seller
And Realtor. |

A-Pro PRE-INSPECTED
/ GUARANTEED Listings Benefit All Parties - BUYERS,
SELLERS and REALTORS. |
|
| What
is a Certified Pre-Owned Home? A Certified
Pre-Owned Home is inspected by A-Pro's team of CHI/PHI-certified home
inspectors and backed by our ironclad, "If we pass it, we protect it"
guarantee. The comprehensive 500-point home inspection includes
transferable 120-day home warranty protection from costly replacement or
repair bills--including unknown preexisting condition of covered systems
and components. |
Ensuring No More Lost Deals
Home inspections, performed as a condition of the
offer, can sometimes be deal killers. Sometimes this is because the
buyer simply gets cold feet during the inspection. Other times, the
inspection uncovers a major problem that even the buyer didn't know
about. Every now and then, it's because the house has been
misrepresented or because the home inspector scared the buyers by not
explaining that common problems are just that--typical for a home of the
same age and configuration. |

Offering Peace Of Mind For The
Purchaser
There is no doubt that part of the
value of a home inspection is a guided tour of the house for the
prospective purchaser. Our inspectors always do a walk-through with the
new purchaser, if requested. |
|
| Unrealistic Sellers
- An inspection at the time of listing can
help a real estate agent deal with a seller who has unrealistic
expectations of the asking price. The pre-inspection report is an
effective way of conveying a fair and reasonable price to the seller,
helping the home sell faster. |

Avoiding Contract Renegotiation - In a buyers'
market, most houses have to be sold three times. It takes a lot of work
to get a listing and then a signed Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Then,
after the home inspection is performed, the buyer often wants to
renegotiate. If all parties know the
detailed condition of the house prior to the offer, there is no need for
renegotiation. As most real estate agents know, renegotiation can be
difficult. And time-consuming. Sellers have already "sold" the house
psychologically, and buyers get nervous and frustrated. Ego, pride and
frayed nerves can muddy the already emotional waters. |

ALLOWING
HOMES TO SELL FASTER
AND FOR MORE MONEY!
A Pre-Certified Inspection Report is a great
negotiation tool and a major selling point. A seller can justify the
asking price on the basis of whether or not the repairs that were
revealed by the inspection were undertaken. For example, a seller can
explain to the buyer that the reason the house is selling for a certain
amount is because the inspection discovered roof problems and those
problems were repaired. Or if the seller chooses not to repair the
problem, he or she can explain to the buyer that the selling price has
been reduced to compensate for the cost of the repair. Either way, the
seller gains a proactive edge in the negotiation process while
eliminating many of the common objections that cause deals to fall
through the cracks. Furthermore, A-Pro reports are balanced and fair.
They even highlight the positive attributes of a home, while most
reports focus solely on its negatives.
If the home inspection is performed prior to the
house being listed, all parties will be aware of the physical condition
of the house before an offer is placed on the home by a prospective
buyer. A-Pro inspections replace guesswork and unmet expectations with
peace of mind.
Pre-inspected guarantee-protected listing will
only have value if the home inspection company is reputable, qualified
and properly insured. Prospective purchasers will have little or no
faith in a report done by someone they perceive to be in the seller's
"pocket." A pre-inspected listing from A-Pro assures prospective buyers
that the home they are considering has received the most thorough,
professional home inspection available in the industry. It also protects
the agent, the buyer and the seller from claims, thus reducing the
agent's E&O premiums.
A seller who pays for a home inspection will be
further ahead than one who has to renegotiate. In most cases, they'll be
able to sell the house much faster, and without the headaches and
hassle. |
ADDED MARKETING POWER
A yard sign that says "Certified Pre-Owned Home"
has twofold marketing power. It can be used not only to enhance your
chances of getting a listing, but it also makes the property more
marketable in the MLS and other advertisements. |

IN CONCLUSION - At
A-Pro, we believe that the future of real estate sales rests in
Certified Pre-Owned Homes. Offers are cleaner, claims are reduced and
deals are far less likely to be renegotiated or fall through during the
inspection period. Certified Pre-Owned listings by A-Pro offer
purchasers, sellers and agents confidence and safeguards they can rely
on. After the inspection is complete, the house is guaranteed for up to
360 days; if a system fails, A-Pro repairs or replaced it at our cost
(excluding any problems noted in the Pre-Certified Inspection Report).
When the buyer steps into the picture, the Inspection Report is then
certified to him or her for the remaining period.
Take the mystery out of selling your listing. Make it
easier for prospective buyers to imaging themselves living in the home.
Add new and unexpected selling points that will excite and surprise
prospective buyers. And as more buyers begin to look for homes with
Certified Pre-Owned status, be sure that you're ahead of the game. |
