Pre-Listing Home Inspections for Sellers near Amarillo, TX
What is a Pre-Listing Inspection?
In the Texas Panhandle, folks like to be prepared—whether it’s for a dust storm rolling through or a buyer’s inspection report dropping the night before closing. A pre-listing inspection—sometimes called a seller’s inspection—is your way of getting ahead. We examine your home just like we would for a buyer: foundation, roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, the works. But here’s the twist—the report is yours, giving you the power to address issues on your terms. Think of it as a backstage pass before the show starts—better to know if the mic’s not working before the crowd files in.
Why Would Someone Want to Purchase a Pre-Listing Inspection?
Selling in Amarillo (or Canyon, Bushland, Hereford, and beyond) means you’ll likely face sharp buyers with sharp agents. A pre-listing inspection keeps you in the driver’s seat:
-
Catch problems early – In Texas, “fix it later” can get expensive fast, especially with our heat, hail, and soil that loves to shift.
-
Set a realistic price – Knowing about that cranky water heater or worn shingles means no guessing games when it comes time to list.
-
Avoid last-minute drama – No one wants a deal collapsing the night before closing (cue the sad country song).
-
Build buyer confidence – Handing over a recent inspection is like saying, “Nothing to hide here, partner.”
In short: this inspection helps you sell faster, with fewer hiccups, and maybe even keeps you from reliving that HGTV nightmare episode where everything falls apart at the eleventh hour.
What Does the Inspection Cover?
Our pre-listing inspections follow TREC’s Standards of Practice, which means we give your Amarillo home a thorough once-over of all the visible and accessible systems:
-
Foundation – Slab, pier & beam, or crawlspace, we check for movement or moisture (yes, Amarillo clay can be tricky).
-
Roof Covering & Structure – From shingles to flashing, we inspect for wear, leaks, and hail damage (because, well, Panhandle weather).
-
Exterior – Siding, grading, drainage, and gutters are checked for how well your home stands up to West Texas wind and rain.
-
Interior – Walls, ceilings, doors, windows, and stairways are reviewed for safety and function.
-
Electrical System – Panels, outlets, switches, and grounding are inspected for safety and code compliance.
-
Plumbing System – Supply lines, drains, fixtures, and water heaters are tested for leaks and performance.
-
HVAC System – Heating, cooling, and ductwork are checked—because nobody wants an Amarillo summer without AC.
-
Appliances – Permanently installed appliances (ovens, ranges, dishwashers) are tested.
Attic, Insulation & Ventilation – We make sure your attic isn’t just a hideout for raccoons and summer heat.
What Is Not Included?
Our Add-On Services
A standard TREC inspection covers a lot, but not everything. For that, we’ve got add-on services to give you the full Texas-sized picture:
-
Radon Testing – It’s invisible, odorless, and not the kind of house guest you want.
-
Sewer Scope – A camera down the line to spot clogs or cracks before they become disasters.
-
Septic Tank Inspections – Making sure it’s doing its job without backing up trouble.
-
Well Water Quality (Coliform) – Safe, clean water = peace of mind.
-
Shop / Storage Buildings – Outbuildings and detached spaces inspected too.
-
Plumbing / Pipe Cameras – See inside the pipes, because not all leaks announce themselves.
-
Drain & Water Damage Inspections – Extra protection against sneaky Texas moisture.
Pairing these add-ons with your pre-listing inspection gives you (and your future buyer) a level of confidence that keeps negotiations smooth—kind of like knowing your brisket’s perfectly smoked before you serve it to guests.
