After the inspection
You'll know your home's true condition, and you'll have a plan for what to do about it before buyers ask.
Major issue walkthrough
At the end of the inspection, we walk through the home with you and your listing agent. We explain the general condition of the home and its systems, the major issues that need attention soon, and the items that are normal maintenance to keep an eye on.
Report preparation
Back at the office, we prepare your final report and email it within 24 hours. It includes photos, illustrations, every defect found and a plain description of each one.
Deciding what to do with each finding
Most issues are manageable. With your agent, you'll usually take one of three approaches to each item.
Fix it before the next showing
Small repairs like a dripping tap, a missing GFCI or a blocked dryer vent are cheap to fix and remove easy objections. Keep the receipts to show buyers.
Price it in
For bigger items, like an aging roof or furnace, get a contractor's quote and let your agent factor it into your pricing, so a buyer can't use it to push for more.
Be ready for the buyer's inspection
For anything you leave as is, you'll know the details and have quotes in hand, so it can't be used to push your price down at the last minute.
Talk to your listing agent and real estate lawyer about disclosure. In Ontario, sellers generally can't conceal known material defects, and knowing early means you can decide how to handle each one.
