The Experts Take Notice...

"...home sellers are turning to new strategies to sell quickly and at the right price... hiring inspectors before they put their homes on the market.

Liz Moore, a broker in Newport News, Va., says her firm pays for a pre-listing inspection for all her sellers.

"It's fair to say that is the reason our listings sell 30 percent faster than the market average," she says. And early anecdotal evidence suggests that inspected houses 'consistently sell for a few thousand dollars more.'"
