Common Situations We Help With

Your agent says to skip it — the buyer will do their own inspection anyway

True. And when the buyer's inspector finds a problem, you'll have 48 hours to decide whether to fix it, credit it, or risk the deal falling through. A pre-listing inspection puts you in control of that conversation. You find the issues first. You fix what makes sense. You disclose the rest in the listing. No surprises.

Your Old Town rowhouse has some age on it — what will the buyer's inspector find?

Pre-1950 homes in Alexandria routinely have aging electrical panels, original cast-iron plumbing, and roof systems with limited life remaining. None of these are necessarily deal-killers — but all of them affect price if a buyer finds them first. A pre-listing inspection lets you know exactly what you're working with before you set your asking price.

You want to list in March but aren't sure what to repair first

Marc's pre-listing inspection includes a priority ranking: what a buyer's inspector will flag as urgent, what's cosmetic, and what you can disclose without impacting price. That prioritization tells you exactly where to spend your repair budget before listing day.

A neighbor's sale fell through at inspection — you don't want the same outcome

Deals die when buyers are surprised. The inspection period is high-pressure — buyers talk themselves out of purchases when reports come back with unfamiliar findings. A pre-listing inspection means there are no surprises: your disclosures are accurate, your asking price reflects real condition, and your buyers are pre-informed.
