Know your home's condition before your buyer does. Fewer surprises at the inspection table means fewer renegotiations, less deal risk, and a clearer path to closing.
Standalone service for sellers. Not a buyer bundle.
Every serious buyer in Texas will schedule an inspection. Whatever it finds will land on the negotiating table — often at the worst possible moment, after an offer is already accepted and timelines are tight.
Sellers who inspect before listing have time to address issues on their own terms: repair, price accordingly, or disclose proactively. The report can be shared with your agent and used to prepare disclosures — giving you a documented baseline before negotiations begin.
Knowing condition in advance doesn't eliminate the buyer's inspection. It reduces the likelihood that the buyer's inspector finds something you didn't know about and uses it as leverage.
"The buyer's inspector flagged something we already knew about and had addressed. There was nothing to negotiate — we had the documentation."

These aren't guarantees — they're the practical advantages of knowing your home's condition before buyers do.
List based on what you know, not what you hope for. When condition is documented, pricing decisions are grounded — and easier to defend if a buyer pushes back.
Issues uncovered during a buyer's inspection can stall or derail a deal. Knowing about them first gives you time to repair or disclose — before they become a negotiating point.
Buyers are more likely to proceed without price reductions when a seller has already documented condition and addressed known issues. Surprises create leverage — prior knowledge reduces it.
A pre-listing inspection uses the same process and covers the same major systems as a standard buyer inspection.
Visible movement, cracking, and drainage-related concerns at the slab level — one of the most common negotiating points in Texas real estate.
Material condition, flashing, drainage performance, and visible wear — issues buyers and their agents look for immediately.
Heating, cooling, and water heater performance and condition — documented with age and observable function at the time of inspection.
Visible supply and drain conditions, functional testing of fixtures, and water heater status.
Panel condition, visible wiring, GFCI presence, and outlet function — with clear notation of items warranting follow-up.
The same same-day report format NovaScope uses for buyer inspections — written clearly and specifically, not buried in boilerplate.
The report can be shared with your agent and used to prepare disclosures. It gives you a documented record of condition before the buyer's inspector arrives.
