The buyer's inspection is the moment a stranger tells you what is wrong with your house, at the worst possible time, with a contract and a clock running. A pre-listing inspection moves that moment to a day you control, before the sign goes in the yard.
We inspect your home to the same InterNACHI standards a buyer's inspector will use, then write the report for the person who owns the house instead of the person deciding whether to buy it. Every finding is framed as a decision you get to make: fix it now, disclose it, or leave it for negotiation. When your report arrives, Ryan is available to walk you through what matters most.
Some agents worry that inspecting first creates things to disclose. We see it the other way. Georgia sellers are generally expected to disclose known defects a buyer could not reasonably discover, and knowing lets you fix or disclose on your own schedule instead of a buyer's. A disclosed, priced-in item rarely kills a deal. A discovered one often does.
The inexpensive items a buyer's inspector always flags: loose outlets, a missing GFCI, a dripping valve, a bath fan that does not run. Fixed before listing, they never become a repair request.
Items you choose not to repair go on the disclosure with a photo and a plain description. Buyers see a seller who knows the house and has nothing to hide, and offers stop being written defensively low.
Bigger items you would rather price in than fix. You and your agent decide the number in advance, calmly, instead of during a repair amendment with the appraisal clock running.
Most sellers in South Metro Atlanta are about to become buyers. When you inspect before you list with Steadfast, we apply a $100 credit toward your own Residential or New Construction purchase inspection on a different home, scheduled within 12 months of your pre-listing report. Same client name and email, one credit per client, applied by us before payment is due. It covers the inspection fee, not add-on services, and is not combined with other courtesies on the same invoice. It has no cash value and is not a warranty or an opinion about any property. Nothing to enroll in and no code to remember.
Once we inspect your home for you, we will not perform a buyer's inspection on it for anyone else for 12 months. Two clients with opposite interests on one house is a conflict of interest, and we do not take it on. That independence is exactly why buyers' agents trust a Steadfast report when they see one on a listing, and why our findings hold up when the buyer's own inspector walks through.
A pre-inspected listing gives you a straight answer when a buyer's agent calls, a disclosure you can stand behind, and a due diligence period without a repair amendment fight. Every seller at every brokerage gets the same offer. There is nothing to enroll in, nothing to pay, and nothing of value changes hands with an agent, so the referral is clean and the report is independent.
A Steadfast one-pager you can hand a seller: inspect before you list, fix or disclose on your terms, $100 toward your next home inspection. Ask and we will send it.
When your seller fixes items, a Repair Reinspection documents each one as repaired and verified, ready to attach to the disclosure or hand to a buyer's agent.
How to read the report, how to talk to a seller about disclosure, and how to use the Pre-Inspected Home summary. On request, at your office or on a call.
No. It is a choice sellers make to see the house the way a buyer's inspector will, before that inspector shows up, so you decide what to fix, disclose, or price in instead of reacting during due diligence.
No, and it should not. Buyers will and should order their own. A pre-listing inspection means far fewer surprises when they do, because you have already addressed or disclosed what an inspector is likely to find.
You do. The report belongs to you, and we send it to no one else. You decide whether to share it with your agent, buyers, or buyers' agents. Many sellers use the one-page Pre-Inspected Home summary at showings instead.
Plan on about three hours on site for a typical home, followed by a full written report with photos.
Pricing follows the same size, age, and distance factors as our buyer inspections. The online scheduler quotes your exact price for your address before you book, with no obligation.
No. Every finding gets one of three moves: fix it now, disclose it, or leave it for negotiation. Most sellers fix the inexpensive items, disclose the rest, and price the home with that knowledge.
