Home Inspection Report
A home inspection report is important, but it doesn't cover everything in the house.
A home inspector will perform a visual inspection of your property from top to bottom, including all the main systems. State laws and professional associations require home inspectors to give clients two documents as a matter of business and ethics: written home inspector contracts and written inspection reports.
Pre-inspection agreement
Obtain a copy of the pre-inspection contract before the inspection takes place. Read and understand the document before the inspector starts the investigation. Ask the inspector to clarify anything you do not understand.
The agreement should contain the scope of the inspection services the person intends to perform as

Pricing When Competition is Close
August 6, 2025 Reading Time: 1 minute

Do multiple listings nearby affect your asking price? Absolutely—but not always negatively. Strategically pricing your home when neighbors are selling too keeps buyers interested and your property competitive.
When several similar homes enter the market simultaneously, buyers inevitably compare properties side by side. This scenario doesn't automatically push prices down. Instead, it presents an opportunity to position your home strategically.
If inventory is low, a cluster of listings can enhance buyer interest, creating competition and potentially driving prices higher. Conversely, in a market with ample choices, buyers gain negotiating leverage, especially if one property reduces its price first.
Smart sellers set their list price thoughtfully—slightly below, equal to, or above the competition—to signal value and urgency. Factors like home condition, updates, and unique features become critical in differentiating your home, justifying pricing decisions, and ultimately attracting serious offers.
