Pre-Listing Inspections in East Texas

When you sell a home, the buyer’s inspector is going to find whatever is there. A pre-listing inspection lets you see it first, on your timeline, so a surprise repair list doesn’t derail your sale a week before closing. Today I’m proud to offer pre-listing inspections across East Texas for homeowners getting ready to sell.

With a report in hand, you can fix what matters, price the home realistically and disclose known issues up front. Buyers feel more confident, and negotiations tend to go more smoothly.

Pre-Listing Inspections FAQs

Are Pre-Listing Inspections required in Texas?

No. It’s optional, but it helps you avoid surprises and plan repairs before buyers make offers.

Do I have to share the report with buyers?

Texas sellers have to disclose known defects on the Seller’s Disclosure Notice, so issues you learn about should go on that form. Talk with your agent about how to handle the report itself. You can find the current disclosure form on the Texas Real Estate Commission website.
