Seller Certified Home Program in Stanislaus & Merced County
Sell Smarter with a Certified Pre-Listing Inspection
Selling a home is more than just staging and setting a price. It’s about trust — and nothing builds trust like transparency. Eagle One Home Inspections offers a Seller Certified Home Program designed to help Stanislaus County homeowners list with confidence by providing a complete, certified inspection report before going on the market.
This pre-listing inspection gives you a clear understanding of your property’s current condition, allowing you to fix problems ahead of time, disclose known issues properly, and avoid costly delays or renegotiations during escrow. With a certified inspection report in hand, you can stand out in a competitive market and assure potential buyers that your home is move-in ready.
What Is a Seller Certified Inspection?
A seller certified inspection is a complete home inspection performed before a home is listed for sale. It’s the same detailed process we use for buyer inspections — but initiated by the seller, not the buyer.
With this inspection, you receive:
- A detailed report of your home's condition
- Photographic documentation of any issues
- A list of recommended repairs or improvements
- The opportunity to address items before listing
- A tool to show buyers you're offering full transparency
By investing in a pre-listing inspection, you stay in control of the process and avoid last-minute surprises that could derail negotiations.

Why Sellers Benefit from Pre-Listing Inspections
In today’s market, buyers are cautious — and inspection results often lead to price reductions, repair demands, or canceled escrows. A seller certified inspection gives you the advantage of:
- Early awareness of issues
Find out what a buyer’s inspector would report and fix issues on your terms and timeline. - Fewer surprises during escrow
Avoid renegotiations by disclosing known conditions up front and showing you've taken care of them. - Increased buyer confidence
Buyers trust a home that comes with a third-party inspection report, especially when repairs have already been made. - Faster, smoother closings
With fewer contingencies, your transaction moves more efficiently and with less risk of falling through. - Stronger listing presentations
Real estate agents often use seller reports as part of their marketing strategy, making your home more appealing and credible.

If you’re not making repairs, include the report with your disclosure documents so buyers understand the home’s condition. - Use it as a negotiation tool
Price the home accurately based on known issues or offer repair credits upfront to maintain control over the deal.
