A-PRO'S EXCLUSIVE SELLER’S PROTECTION
WE SAFEGUARD SELLERS FOR 120 DAYS WITH OUR UNPRECEDENTED “CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED HOME PROGRAM”
Today, home inspections are conducted in the interests of the buyer alone. But A-Pro has changed all that with our 120-Day Guarantee available to sellers.
NOW, listed homes that are inspected by our CHI master inspectors carry the status “CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED HOME,™” a meaningful designation that goes a long way in helping to ease the concerns of a potential buyer.
WHAT DOES “CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED HOME” MEAN?
As a seller, you want to make your home as attractive a value as possible.
Making it an A-Pro “Certified Pre-Owned Home” gives you a distinct selling advantage.
That’s because your home will have undergone a complete, 500-point inspection before it goes on the market, which means it’s guaranteed against hidden and undiscovered problems that might otherwise delay (or even kill) the sale transaction. The benefits of and A-Pro Pre-Certified Inspection help create a powerful marketing tool that can be used during the process of selling a house:
* No home inspections needed after the purchase agreement is accepted.
* No more last minute re-negotiations based on the home inspector's findings.
* No more buyers walking away because there may be a problem that had not been previously mentioned.
* No more parade of inspectors through your home before a multiple-offer situation.
* Based on the home inspection, the real estate agent and seller can resolve any differences of opinion about the house before it goes on the market.
* Disclosing any flaws (no home is in perfect condition) up front allows you to reflect those imperfections in the listing price, rather than have to negotiate again later when issues are discovered by a home inspector.
* It justifies the selling price whether the repairs are made or not.
* It may also eliminate possible legal disclosure-related problems after the sale.
* It gives you the option of fixing any conditions identified in the home inspection report or simply reflecting the imperfection it in the purchase price. This removes it from the table as a disadvantageous negotiating point for you.
* It includes a report that becomes the buyer's guide to home ownership for years to come. For example, the report includes all serial and model numbers of major appliances.
* You home is far more likely to sell faster… and for more money!
How does the Certified Pre-Owned pre-listing home inspection program work?
First, you or your real estate sales professional contacts A-Pro to arrange a pre-listing inspection. Then, we take you through the fast, easy process:
A) First off, we discuss a key benefit of the plan. The guarantee is fully transferable to the buyer. Naturally, since the transferability acts as a great reassurance against buyer remorse, these guarantees considerably boost home marketability.
120-Day Guarantee: Following the 500-point home inspection, A-Pro issues a FREE 120-day guarantee covering mechanical, roof and structural elements.
B) A-Pro completes the inspection and leaves behind at the home an A-Pro report reference book with all pertinent data. This is displayed for prospective buyers to review during open houses and showings.
C) Within 2 business days after the inspection, A-Pro e-mails a draft Summary Report to the seller and the real estate professional.
D) The seller and the agent approve then the draft via email or phone. Naturally, any comments and questions will be welcomed and promptly responded to by A-Pro.
E) Upon your approval, A-Pro will print and deliver up to 50 copies of the Summary Report for the seller to distribute to prospective buyers at your discretion.If the seller chooses to make improvements to the home, any receipts for work completed can be attached to the Summary Report. Or, the seller may ask us to hold off on printing the 50 copies. We will revisit the home after the work is completed, then revise the A-Pro reference book and Summary Report accordingly. The fee for this (typically about $150) will be based on the travel time, time spent on site, and time spent revising the Report and Summary Report. At that point, the 50 copies will be delivered to the seller’s designated location the next business day.
F) Prospective buyers will be able to pick up a copy of the Summary Report at open houses or showings.
G) At no cost to the seller, A-Pro can also post the Summary Report on a private web page, so that prospective buyers may view it.
H) The trademarked use of the “Certified Pre-Owned Home™”, Summary Report and free yard sign can be referenced in listings, on feature sheets, on web sites, in advertisements, on lawn signs, etc. The web page address for the Summary Report can be included in any of these.
I) When the home is sold, the A-Pro reference book and summary report can be transferred to the buyer.
J) The buyer may engage A-Pro to perform a walk-through inspection, and discuss the findings with the buyer. (Fee of approximately $150 is typical) This creates the contractual relationship between A-Pro and the buyer.
