Pre-listing inspection examples

These examples show the kinds of conditions an inspection may document. They are not findings for your home; repair decisions begin after the property is actually inspected.

How the read works →

$1,200–$1,800

Roof tile, open mortar

Cap and field tiles with open joints let water track under the tile.

Fix before listing

$800–$1,200

Water heater, aged

Twelve years and up. Working, but near the end of its expected life.

Disclose and price it

$0–$300

Stucco, surface cracks

Hairline cracking at window and door junctions. Wear, not structure.

Disclose and price it

$2,200–$3,800

Electrical panel, dated

Original and undersized. Buyers ask for records or a credit at closing.

Fix before listing

Illustrative planning ranges from the sample seller file, not live local bids or findings for a specific house. Inspection.re is founded by Zarko.

The Ghost Listing Report

Check whether a public-display listing history is available for a El Monte address. Results are limited to exact-address rows in the available MLS history and may be incomplete.

Off-market intelligence

Check the earlier listing attempts.

Search an El Monte address for prior listings and price changes available to registered members. Coverage varies by property.

Exact-address matchHistory is shown only when it matches the property address.

Public display onlyOnly statuses and rows permitted for public display appear.

Availability statedIf the public record is incomplete or unavailable, the lookup says so.

Plan the home’s privacy before launch

Choose what to publish, when showings begin and whether a limited-marketing option fits the property. Availability depends on the home, seller instructions and MLS rules.

How the Vault works →

Discuss limited exposure

Ask Zarko which public or limited-marketing options are available for your property and plan.

Choose photos deliberately

Agree what should be published before launch; removal from third-party sites cannot be guaranteed.

Approve the launch plan

Set the showing, marketing and privacy plan in writing before the home is published.

Special situations

These four situations benefit from clear property evidence, a written timeline and an early conversation about privacy.

All special situations →

Probate and estate

Organize the authority to sell, property facts and timeline before launch.

Start privately →

Divorce and transition

Build one shared set of property facts and a written timeline.

Start privately →

Senior move

Work through property, timing and move decisions in a manageable order.

Start privately →

Quiet sale

Discuss the exposure and showing options that are actually available.

Start privately →

inspection.re

Find it before the buyer’s inspector does

Every item a buyer’s inspector writes up is a second negotiation. A pre-listing inspection moves that conversation before the offer, not after it.
