Should I get a pre-listing inspection when selling my home?

When selling your home, the process can be quite complicated and nerve-racking. Most people look at a pre-inspection as a waste of time or money.  The seller never realizes that, in the long run, it could possibly give your potential buyer and yourself a lot less stress throughout the process.  It allows the seller to show full transparency in the process, and in turn, it becomes less likely for the house to fall out of escrow after the buyer’s inspection.
