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.

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

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

Disclose and price it
$2,200–$3,800Electrical panel, dated

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 Santa Ana address. Results are limited to exact-address rows in the available MLS history and may be incomplete.
“Price the home with the record the other side can see.”Insider Realty
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.

Let’s talk
Ask Zarko for the comparable-sales read
Share the address and your timing. Zarko can review available closed-sale context, current competition and condition priorities with you. This is a property-specific conversation, not an automated estimate or appraisal.
