Unfortunately, most home inspections are performed at the request of the home buyer. however, more and more sellers are opting for a home inspection prior to putting their house on the market. By doing this, the seller can address any negative findings prior to showing the home to a prospective buyer.

This can save the seller hundreds to thousands of dollars.
