With a record number of units on the market and “millions” more expected online over the rest of 2009 and 2010, you need to be looking at strategic ways to make your listings stand out.

Now I’m not suggesting those big inflatable gorillas (let me know if you’ve tried this though) that shopping malls use to create attention … I’m talking something proven that many top agents have been doing to get their listings sold faster AND for more money.

Best of all this strategy eliminates any surprises that may come up after the sale and before closing!

Think “Pre-listing Home Inspection” … seriously, by getting the inspection done ahead of time you can address any problems that need to be fixed BEFORE they become a deal breaker and make your listings stand out over other properties.

Dan Steward is the President of Pillar To Post an industry leader in home inspections and he shares some great insights in this video.

Be sure to visit their site for a free comprehensive Repair Cost Guide.

This tool provides a list of the estimated costs to upgrade or replace the major systems and components in a typical home. It also provides a general guideline for the life-expectancies of those systems.

Give it a play because you will be pleasantly surprised!

All Good Wishes,
