In today's market in the Lehigh Valley it is fairly safe to assume that a buyer who is
thinking to purchase your home will want to have their sale's contract written with a "contingent upon an acceptable
whole house inspection" clause.
While many sellers do wait for this scenario to occur, there are
a few reasons for you, the seller, to invest in a professional whole house inspection "before"
listing your home on the market.
