Phantom Inspections
Pre-Listing Home Inspection

Know your home's condition before you list.

An independent inspection performed before listing gives sellers an accurate, objective picture of their property's condition — the same findings a buyer's inspector would report.

Why Pre-Listing

An objective look before you list.

Most sellers learn about the condition of their home at the same time buyers do — during the buyer's inspection, after an offer is already on the table. A pre-listing inspection moves that evaluation earlier, giving sellers accurate information and time to make thoughtful decisions before going to market.

Schedule Pre-Listing

Know your home's condition

A pre-listing inspection gives sellers an independent, objective look at their property before it goes on the market — the same evaluation a buyer's inspector would perform.

Time to make informed decisions

When issues are identified before listing, sellers have time to address them, obtain repair estimates, or factor conditions into their disclosures — on their own timeline.

Fewer surprises for everyone

A documented condition report helps set accurate expectations for all parties and can reduce the likelihood of unexpected findings disrupting a transaction.

What to expect

  • Same thorough inspection as a buyer would receive
  • All major systems evaluated — roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC
  • Photo-documented findings with clear, objective descriptions
  • Safety items and material defects identified and clearly noted
  • Written report you can share with your agent or prospective buyers
  • Findings documented under TREC standards

Same standards. Earlier timing.

A pre-listing inspection follows the same TREC standards as any other residential inspection. The findings are objective and independent — the same report a buyer's inspector would produce.
