In a slow real estate market as we are in now it may be worthwhile for a seller to have a NJ home inspection.

One way to help avoid this is to have a properly performed pre-purchase home inspection. You will know what is wrong with the home before you put it on the market and it gives you time in order to make those corrections that are necessary. One very important caveat to having a pre sales home inspection is that as the homeowner you are required under law to disclose all of the defects that were discovered on the pre-sales home inspection. One way to use this to your advantage is to make the necessary corrective actions or replacements so the buyer can have confidence that the repairs were performed. Having a pre-sales New Jersey home inspection may help you show the home better after the required repairs were made. It may allow you to make the repairs on your time table as opposed to being rushed while in the middle of a transaction.

Presenting the pre-sales inspection report will allow more credibility to your disclosure statement. You must hire a thorough and experienced NJ home inspector to perform the inspection.
