The biggest change is the requirement of providing a "SELLERS DISCLOSURE." You, the home owner must list all the known defects in the home.
Home Inspectors
The home inspector is usually hired by the Buyer and arrives at your property after a contract is negotiated to inspect and list any defects, questionable areas, upgrade suggestions and maintenance.
When significant problems are found by the Home Inspector the buyer may:
• terminate the contract,
• ask for inflated amounts to have the problem fixed,
• or be so alarmed by the defect found, will terminate the contract without giving you the chance to fix it.
Either way your house is back on the market and the problem is still there for the next buyer to find.
The problem is the timing of the home inspection.
The trend is changing, and smart Sellers are having a Professional
Certified home inspection at the time of their listing in order
to repair or determine the condition of their home and to use it
as a sales tool. A Seller's inspection will virtually eliminate
all the hassles and blown deals inspections caused when the Buyer
brings their inspector. It gives the leverage back to the Seller.

How easy is selling a house with a Seller's Inspection?
If a seller's inspection is performed and significant damage or defects are found. There will be disappointment, but no hysteria or regret. No deal about to go sour. The real esate agent can discuss the problems with the Seller and will determine if this listing is "AS IS" with full disclosure, or if any repairs need correcting to expedite the sale. The Seller then corrects any problem areas, and calls for a Re-Inspection of the home. The home inspector returns a clean report. Next, a Buyer enters a contract agreement with the Seller. The Buyer will choose to trust the home inspection or will have another inspection. No major problems should be found by the second inspection. The deal coasts downhill to closing. Everyone is HAPPY!
