  SPEAKER_00: Now, you sellers, I'm gonna answer the question.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: If you do a pre-sale home inspection and you're thinking, God, you know, I haven't really paid attention to the houses I should have, and I don't, I don't want to freak myself out.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: You know, it's better to find out now than three weeks into escrow, you're in escrow with the buyer, you think everything's wonderful because you haven't heard anything.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: You're like, oh my God, it's great.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: Buyers get just gonna buy it, and then all of a sudden you get this massive request for repairs that wants a discount of$50,000 on the sale of your house because you got this and this and this, and and and it's not always the case you got this and this and this.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe the buyers are just using it to try to get a lower, a lower offer on the property.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: Number one, that's why it's important to have your own agent that doesn't have anything to do with the buyer, as far as I'm concerned.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a seller's only agent.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: So that's there's that pitch, but it's super important.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: On the other end of it, that's why it's important to have that pre-sale home inspection.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: You have somebody come out, not somebody, not Uncle Bubba, but somebody that you actually have certifications from, licensed, bonded, experienced.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: They come to your residence and they go through the whole thing, they make you a written report.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: That report, now, whatever you discover that you didn't know before, that's all disclosure stuff.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: You gotta say it.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: You gotta say it.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: Everything you tell your agent.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: You tell me that you know you had a meth lab in the backyard for a number of years because you were trying to do your own breaking bags, back breaking bad scenario.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I got to report it.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: That's that's just part of the part of the mix.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: So when that home inspector comes out, they look at everything, they write up the report.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: Now you have your attack plan.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: Now you can make a decision as to how you're going to do your pricing strategy.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: Are you gonna fix it all and make it all pristine?
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: So when the buyer comes in, they got nothing to complain about, or are you gonna build that into the price, or are you just gonna wait for them to come back?
• 2:48
