A pre-listing inspection decreases the chances that the buyer will find hidden defects then demand concession or back out of the deal.

Ensure the home is priced correctly and use the fact that it has been inspected already as a selling point.
Georgia’s Leader in Pre-Listing Inspections
A pre-listing inspection from The BrickKicker has the same level of detail as a Buyers Homes Inspection. Our certified home inspectors examine each component and system of the home to ensure that they are working properly and that there are no major issues that would compel a buyer to walk.
While the buyer is typically the only one who has a home inspector look at the house during a real estate transaction, it is becoming more and more common for sellers to have an inspection as well.

Learn the basics of a pre-listing home inspection here, and when you’re ready to schedule one, give us a call.
What is a Pre-Listing Inspection?
A pre-listing inspection is simply a comprehensive inspection of your home by a professional to help identify any maintenance or repair issues BEFORE you list your home for sale. Homeowners typically wait until a potential buyer wants to purchase their home, and then the home buyer pays for an inspection. But then you have to negotiate repairs and run the risk of having the buyer change their mind about the sale.
How Much is a Pre Listing Inspection?
How much is a pre-listing inspection? It can cost hundreds of dollars or more depending on:
- *The size of the home
- *The age of the home
- *The condition of the house
- *The location of the property
What is a Pre-Listing Walk and Talk?
If a pre-listing inspection is a bit beyond your budget, The BrickKicker offers a unique option: the Pre-Listing Walk and Talk. It is not an inspection at all, but rather a consultation. The seller hires a qualified ASHI Certified Inspector to do the consultation before putting the home on the market. As a result, the seller learns about any deficiencies or deferred maintenance that needs correcting before the house goes on the market. Then, they can decide how to handle them.
The significant difference between the Pre-Listing Walk and Talk and a typical home inspection is that there is no written report. The seller is encouraged to take their own notes and decide what will be updated before settling on a list price with their Realtor. In this way, they can appropriately allocate their resources, anticipate any concessions the buyer may request, and price the home accordingly.
Pre-Listing Inspection vs. Buyer Inspection
What is the difference between a pre-listing inspection vs. a buyer inspection? The only significant difference is who pays for it. A pre-listing inspection is paid for by the seller, and a buyer pays for a buyer inspection. However, doing a pre-emptive pre-listing inspection can save the home seller a great deal of hassle and even money because it prevents surprises and post-inspection negotiations.
