We all know the Decatur market is shifting. While our historic bungalows in Oakhurst and Avondale Estates are as charming as ever, buyers are becoming more deliberate. In a normalized market, the seller with the "move-in ready" confidence wins.
That is why smart sellers are opting for a Pre-Listing Home Inspection before the "For Sale" sign ever hits the yard.
Why inspect before you list?
Decatur homes have character, but they also have secrets. From 1920s knob-and-tube wiring to settling foundations or aging galvanized pipes, these hidden surprises are the #1 reason deals fall apart at the closing table.
A Pre-Listing Inspection with Atlanta premier Home Inspections&nbsp;allows you to:
<ul><li>Fix issues on your terms: Avoid the rush of last-minute repairs mandated by a buyer.</li><li>Price accurately: Know exactly what your home is worth based on its true condition.</li><li>Negotiate from strength: Eliminate the buyer's ability to use "unknowns" to drive down your price.</li></ul>
