National Home Guard helps sellers and listing agents identify issues before a home hits the MLS. Our pre-listing inspection turns unknowns into a prioritized punch list, giving you options: repair, disclose or price accordingly—before buyers write their first offer.
Ideal for Delaware listings from beach cottages in Rehoboth & Bethany to estate homes and new construction in Middletown, Dover and across New Castle County.
A pre-listing inspection mirrors the depth of our buyer inspections, with added focus on how findings impact marketability and negotiations. You’ll see the home through a buyer’s lens, with enough detail to decide which items to fix now and which to disclose in your Seller’s Disclosure.
Whether you’re weeks away from listing or still deciding when to hit the MLS, our pre-listing process is built to give you clarity without slowing down momentum. Here’s how it typically flows:
Choose an inspection time that fits between cleaning, staging and photos. We can coordinate access with owners, tenants and listing agents across Sussex, Kent & New Castle County.
Your inspector evaluates the same major systems buyers care about—roof, structure, mechanicals, safety and more—documenting everything with photos and notes.
You’ll receive a digital report with prioritized findings. Major items and safety concerns are clearly highlighted so you can create a punch list with your agent.
Work with your agent and contractors to choose which items to handle before going live and which to disclose or factor into pricing. We’re available for questions throughout.
Pre-listing isn’t required, but it can be a powerful tool when used strategically. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from Delaware sellers and their agents.
