Whether you’re a Broker/Agent representing Buyers or Sellers, there are direct advantages to you, as a transactional professional, to encouraging your clients to secure a Property Inspection Report. Rather than being “deal killers,” as is often the view of Broker/Agents toward Property Inspections, such reports arm you, the sales professional, with a wealth of information to assist you in better serving your clients.
For Brokers/Agents representing the
SELLER
Here are two advantages to obtaining a comprehensive Property Inspection Report:
1.
Such a report helps the Seller’s Agent guide the Seller in determining the deficiencies in the commercial property that are likely to have a negative impact on the marketability of the property (and should be corrected prior to closing), as well as clarifying for the Seller the deficiencies that should not significantly affect the marketability of the property.
2.
This information will support the Seller’s agent in leading the Seller to set a reasonable and marketable sales price for the property, and could thus help prevent the property from remaining on the market for extended weeks or even months with little interest from prospective buyers.
For Brokers/Agents representing the
BUYER
A comprehensive and clearly-presented Property Inspection Report helps the Buyer’s Agent in these ways:
1.
Such a report helps the Buyer’s Agent advise the Buyer as to the deficiencies and areas of critical concern impacting the major building components of a property that should be addressed prior to closing.
2.
Such a report provides the Buyer with important information about the general condition of the property that may strengthen the Buyer’s negotiating position with the Seller.
3.
Such a report helps the Buyer distinguish between those areas of critical concern mentioned above, and issues that are easily corrected or of a purely cosmetic nature.
