Information before the home goes on the market
A seller-side Residential Inspection completed before marketing, giving you a photo-rich view of visible conditions while you still have time to plan with your agent and advisers.
Before you list
A Pre-Listing Inspection uses the Residential Inspection scope before the home goes on the market. Instead of first hearing about an observed condition during a buyer’s inspection period, you receive an earlier snapshot and can decide how it fits your listing plan.
The inspector reviews the specified, readily accessible systems and components of the home, including visible roof, exterior, structure, attic, plumbing, electrical, heating, cooling, and interior conditions within the agreed scope. It is not a reduced seller-only walkthrough.
The report organizes observed conditions with photos and straightforward explanations. It gives you and your agent a shared starting point for conversations about contractors, timing, disclosure, marketing, or other next steps without turning the inspection into a repair prescription.
Thermal imaging is included in the kitchen, laundry room, and bathrooms to provide additional information in these areas. This targeted use does not amount to whole-house imaging and cannot guarantee that every concealed or intermittent condition will be identified.
The inspection documents visible and readily accessible conditions on the day of the visit. Conditions can change, access can differ, and a future buyer may order another inspection. The report does not predict how another inspector or buyer will interpret the property.
Use the report well
Upspect explains observed conditions; you decide what comes next with the people advising your sale. That separation keeps the report useful without presenting inspection findings as legal advice, a mandatory repair list, or a promise about the buyer’s response.
Some observations may warrant additional evaluation by an appropriate qualified professional before you list. The report identifies the observed condition and relevant limitation, allowing you to decide whether further information would help your pricing, timing, or transaction planning.
Upspect does not prescribe repairs, select contractors, or estimate correction costs as part of the Home Inspection. You and your advisers decide whether to repair, monitor, disclose, price around, or otherwise address each finding based on your goals and obligations.
A buyer may still order an independent inspection, and the home’s condition or accessibility may differ by then. A Pre-Listing Inspection does not replace that process; it helps you enter it with an earlier, organized understanding of the visible conditions already documented.

Questions
Schedule it early enough to review the report and consider any follow-up before your intended listing date. The right timing depends on your property and sale plan, so coordinate with your real-estate agent while allowing enough room for any additional evaluations or work you choose to pursue.
No. The report describes observed conditions; it is not a mandatory repair list. Upspect does not prescribe repairs, estimate correction costs, or provide legal advice about seller disclosures. Review the information with your real-estate agent and other appropriate advisers to decide what fits your transaction.
No. A buyer may still choose an independent inspection, and conditions or access can change between visits. A Pre-Listing Inspection gives you useful information earlier in the process, but it does not control whether a buyer inspects the home or what another inspector may observe.
That is a listing and disclosure decision to make with your real-estate and legal advisers as appropriate. Some sellers use the report internally while planning; others may choose to share information from it. Upspect provides the inspection findings but does not direct your disclosure strategy.
Yes. The Pre-Listing Inspection includes targeted thermal imaging in the kitchen, laundry room, and bathrooms. It can provide additional information about temperature patterns in those areas, but it is not whole-house imaging and is subject to the same visibility and tool limitations as the inspection.
