Know what a buyer’s inspector is going to find — before they find it. Fix issues on your terms, price your home with confidence, and keep your sale on track.
A pre-listing inspection is a complete home inspection done for the seller, before your home goes on the market. Darryl inspects the home’s major systems and components — roof, structure, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, interior, and exterior — the same way a buyer’s inspector will.
Instead of learning about problems in the middle of a contract, when deadlines are short and buyers have leverage, you learn about them up front. That gives you time to make repairs, get quotes, or adjust your asking price — on your schedule, not the buyer’s.
Every ProChek inspection is performed personally by Darryl Willoughby, a Kentucky licensed home inspector (#HI-2038) and ASHI member with 20 years of experience and more than 12 years as a custom home builder. You’ll get a detailed digital report with photos that you and your agent can use to plan your next steps.
Here’s why more Louisville-area sellers are getting inspected before they list.
Find out about issues before a buyer’s inspector does — while you still control the timeline.
Choose your own contractors, compare quotes, and make repairs without contract deadlines hanging over you.
Set an asking price that reflects your home’s true condition — and defend it with confidence.
Fewer last-minute renegotiations and fewer deals that fall apart after the buyer’s inspection.
Most buyers will have the home inspected before closing. When their inspector finds a roof leak, a wiring concern, or moisture in the crawlspace, it often turns into a repair request, a price reduction, or a buyer who walks away — usually with only days to respond.
A pre-listing inspection flips that script. You know what’s there before anyone else does, so you can fix what matters, disclose what you choose not to fix, and go into negotiations prepared.
It also gives buyers confidence from day one. A home that’s been inspected and cared for stands out — and a well-prepared seller is in a much stronger position at the negotiating table.
Every ProChek pre-listing inspection includes the full scope of a standard home inspection.
Ideally a few weeks before you plan to list. That gives you time to review the report, get quotes, and make any repairs before photos and showings. Call 502-802-6336 and Dee-Dee will find a time that fits your schedule.
No. The report is information for you — you decide what to repair, what to price in, and what to leave as-is. Many sellers focus on safety items and anything a buyer is likely to push back on. Talk with your real estate agent about your disclosure obligations.
Yes, many sellers share the report (along with receipts for completed repairs) to build buyer confidence. Your agent can help you decide how best to use it.
Most buyers will, and that’s fine. The advantage is that you’ve already seen what they’re likely to find, so there are far fewer surprises when their report comes back.
Pricing depends on the size, age, and type of home and any add-ons like radon testing. Call 502-802-6336 for a quote — Dee-Dee will walk you through pricing and payment options.
