A Home Pre-Check Specialist is a real estate agent or broker that has above-average knowledge of home systems.
The benefits are:
Knowing your product. Have you ever gone to buy a product and you knew more than the salesman? Be the expert your clients want!
Save your clients and yourself time and money. Don’t make offers with buyers on homes that are going to struggle during an inspection and prevent deals from falling through.
Identify what may be an easy repair or a non-issue in an effort to prevent scaring buyers away from a listing.
Help sellers to identify and address issues that may come up on an inspection before they happen. If clients see you as the expert, they are more likely to recommend you to future clients.
Become a home pre-check specialist! The Home Pre-Check Specialist Course is designed to improve your knowledge about homes and home-related systems so you can better serve your clients.
