You are relocating and need to sell your home quickly! Consider having a pre-listing inspection to uncover any defects and fix them before a buyer uncovers them. This is especially important if you have been in your home for some time and there is some deferred maintenance or possibly some repairs that need to be made.

Most buyers will have a home inspection to get a better feel for what they are buying and learn about any defects. When buyers see problems (even BEFORE they make an offer) they start to subtract money from the asking price (or even the price they think the home is worth. Once an offer has been agreed and the buyer's inspection completed, any problems that come up will likely  translate into a request for a reduction in the offer price, or for you to take care of the defects.

You may be able to circumvent this by having a pre-listing inspection. You will learn about any problems and can take care of them (some or all depending on severity, cost and other factors) beforehand. For the money spent on the inspection and repairs, you are more likely to get a better offer as well as avoid the possibility of the buyer asking for a price reduction, or WORSE...backing out of the deal altogether.
