Move In Certified Inspections

The worst problem for Sellers and Realtors is when the buyers inspection uncovers significant problems that the Buyer wants repaired before purchasing the property.  The most expensive repairs are those that need to be done at the last minute, or the buyer will want to have the price lowered using inflated estimates during negotiations. 

"Move In Certified" virtually eliminates this problem.

Major Advantages to Move In Certified 

• Sellers can schedule the inspection at their convenience.

• Sellers can price their home more realistically if problems exist.

• Once problems are corrected, a higher asking price can be substantiated.

• Find out about problems ahead of time to make the home show better, shop for competitive prices for repairs, attach repair estimates or paid invoices to the inspection report and remove over inflated buyer procured estimates from the negotiation table.

• Find out about immediate safety concerns before visitors tour the home.

• Provides a 3rd party unbiased opinion for potential buyers.

• Move In Certified yard signs attract potential buyers.

• Ultimate gesture in forthrightness on the Seller's part.

• Relieve a prospective Buyer's unfounded suspicions before they walk away.

• Less contentious negotiations and 11th hour renegotiations.

• Might encourage the Buyer to waive the inspection contingency.

• May provide full disclosure protection from future legal claims.  

What Happens After the Inspection?

If any major issues or safety concerns are uncovered, a "Pre-Inspected" sign will go in the yard and a re-inspection of the corrected items will be required within 60 days, then, if corrected the "Move In Certified" sign will be provided.  If the Seller decides they do not want to fix any of the problems and sell it "As Is", I will still provide a "Pre-Inspected" sign to help draw attention to the property as long as the Seller agrees to make the inspection report available to potential buyers. 

Move In Certified – Definitions & Procedures

Definition: “Move In Certified” is a home inspection that is performed for the seller of the property. The seller then commits to resolve any major/minor problems or safety concerns that the inspection may uncover. The seller then certifies to the best of their knowledge that any major problems, maintenance issues, or safety concerns have been addressed. They then can place the “Move In Certified” sign out in the yard in conjunction with the Realtors “For Sale” sign to help draw attention to the property and show potential Buyers of this certification. Sellers will also be able to provide copies of the inspection report to potential buyers as a show of good faith and can be viewed from our website: bchomeinspections.ca.
