Currently, the culture of the real estate industry is completely backwards. Houses are put on the market, offers are accepted, and then inspections are performed by the buyers. Upon inspection, deficiencies are discovered and then buyers and sellers negotiate costly repairs. So in essence, real estate transactions are negotiated twice, once on the initial price of the house and again for repairs.
This two-step negotiation ALWAYS costs sellers money! This process leads to frustration, delayed closings, and even leads to buyers backing out. If the deal falls through, all the time spent with the house off the market is wasted. The home selling process has to start all over and the seller will have to make more mortgage payments.

"The 'Certified Pre-Owned Home Program' gave me an up-front professional opinion about my home's condition and insight into how a buyer will view it once I put it on the market. It allowed me to research the maintenance items on my timeline without the pressure of keeping a deal together. It shows my buyers that I care about my property and that I want them to have a safe and healthy home. And, I've been able to sleep like a baby having the ultimate peace of mind that I have protection via the warranty until closing day"
"We recently sold our home and our agent recommended we purchase a home warranty and pre-inspection to help put the buyer's mind at ease. We were able to learn of several things that may have concerned potential buyers and we corrected them prior to any showings. Our buyers did not even require an inspection as they saw the inspector's report and the corrections we had made."
Save sellers significant money on doing repairs that might come up on the buyer’s inspection.
There were almost 54,000 homes sold in the Twin Cities area in 2023. Having a pre-listing inspection helps justify the asking price as well as stand out from the competition.
Saves a tremendous amount of stress and headaches or the seller as there will be few, if any, surprises that could come up and potentially kill the deal.
Home inspection and repairs can be built into the price of the home to recoup costs.
Adds peace of mind to the sellers knowing their house has a home warranty on it until the closing date which then transfers to the buyers for 1 year.
Buyers are more apt to waive an inspection knowing a pre-listing inspection has been completed and they will be getting a home warranty for a year.
Buyers' perceived value of a home warranty is over $1,000!
