How a Pre-Listing Inspection Can Help Sell Your Home Faster
By City Home Inspectors

🏡 Selling your home in Chicago or the suburbs? Want to reduce stress and speed up your sale? There’s one powerful move many smart sellers make—getting a pre-listing home inspection.

Here’s how this simple step can turn your listing into a buyer magnet and protect your sale from falling apart at the finish line.

✅ The Solution: Know First, Act Fast

A pre-listing inspection is a full home inspection done before you put your home on the market. It identifies:

• Structural issues

• Outdated or failing systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical)

• Safety hazards or cosmetic red flags

• Items likely to be flagged by the buyer’s inspector

By discovering issues early, you can choose to fix them—or price the home accordingly. Either way, you're in control.

💰 The Savings: Avoid Last-Minute Deal Killers

With inspection surprises off the table, you’ll:

• Avoid rushed repairs during escrow

• Reduce buyer anxiety and negotiation friction

• Potentially sell faster and for more, with fewer conditions

• Attract more confident offers

📣 Social Proof: Real Results
