PRE-INSPECTED/GUARANTEED

The Future of Real Estate Sales

 

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.
