With the San Clemente real estate market being a buyer's market, sellers should consider a pre-inspection.  In this article, the value of the pre-inspection incurred on the sellers behalf may completely outweigh the cost of $300-500.  The pre-inspection allows you, the seller, to fix the problems before they might surface during a buyer inspection.  This could prevent a potential sale from falling apart in today's market and take a lot of time and hassle out of negotiations. 

San Clemente real estate buyers are in the driver's seat right now, so the pre-inspection may also function as a marketing tool.  For example, we can advertise in the listing that the property was pre-inspected.  At the house, there can be a sign out front and cards in the house alerting potential buyers and their agents that a pre-inspection report is available.  This becomes a great bargaining tool to differentiate yourself and your home from your competition, the other properties the buyer is interested in the San Clemente real estate market.   Lastly, it will give you much more confidence in the price at which we list your house.  In today's buyer's market, this pre-inspection could mean selling your house next week versus six months from now.
