There are several advantages to having your home professionally inspected when it is listed and sitting for a period of time: It gives you an objective, inspector's eye point of view; Enables you to make needed repairs; substantiates your asking price; avoids the 11th hour renegotiation.

Jay,


Thank you for answering my question! This is so wierd because we saw your home on craigslist (for sale) and I thought I'd take a chance and call your realtor. Well, yesterday I did and it didn't seem like it would work out. She stated that you would be interested in leasing with 5-10k down and for a few years before selling it. We were looking to spend $1200-$1500/mo. If I misunderstood or you change your mind, please feel free to email us. thenewman6@charter.net. I drove by your home yesterday and it looks great! Surprised it hasn't sold!

You could offer to pay closing costs, which is common in our area of Connecticut. Offering 3 months of mortgage payments would be another incentive. Check with your accountant, you may be able to claim some of these expenses on your income tax.
