Pre-Listing & Pre-Purchase Inspections

At Classic City Home Inspection, we offer detailed pre-listing and pre-purchase inspections to homeowners, buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals across Athens, Watkinsville, Winder, GA, and nearby areas. Whether you’re preparing to sell your home or planning to buy, a professional inspection gives you a clear, honest understanding of the property’s condition—so you can move forward with confidence.

Led by licensed inspector David, every inspection is thorough, objective, and tailored to help you make informed decisions at every stage of the real estate process.

Pre-Listing Inspections for Sellers

A pre-listing inspection is conducted before putting your home on the market. It gives sellers the opportunity to discover and address issues before a buyer’s inspection uncovers them. This proactive approach can help streamline the sale, reduce negotiation delays, and potentially increase your home’s value.

Benefits of a pre-listing inspection include:

  • Identifying defects before listing the property
  • Making repairs on your own timeline
  • Avoiding last-minute surprises during closing
  • Demonstrating transparency to potential buyers
  • Supporting your asking price with documented condition reports

David will walk you through every finding, answer your questions, and provide a detailed report that you can share with interested buyers to build trust and confidence.

Pre-Purchase Inspections for Buyers

A pre-purchase inspection is essential when you’re under contract on a home. It helps you understand what you’re buying—not just in terms of layout and features, but also in terms of structural soundness, safety, and long-term maintenance needs.

Our inspections are designed to help you:

  • Identify hidden issues before closing
  • Understand repair costs and priorities
  • Make informed negotiations based on real conditions
  • Plan for future maintenance or upgrades
  • Avoid unexpected surprises after move-in

David examines all major systems and components of the home, including roofing, foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, interior and exterior finishes, attic, crawlspace, and more. You’ll receive a comprehensive digital report with photos, clear explanations, and straightforward recommendations.

What’s Covered in Both Inspections

Whether you’re buying or selling, our inspections include:

  • Roofing and exterior
  • Foundation, structure, and drainage
  • HVAC systems
  • Plumbing and water flow
  • Electrical panels, outlets, and fixtures
  • Attic, insulation, and ventilation
  • Windows, doors, and interior finishes
  • Garage and outbuildings (if applicable)
  • Safety items such as smoke detectors and handrails

We take the time to walk through the property with you, explain findings in plain language, and answer any questions you may have.
