What is the difference between a buyer's inspection and a pre-listing inspection in Savage?

Both are thorough evaluations of the same systems; the difference is who orders the inspection and when, which changes how the results get used. A buyer's inspection is ordered by the purchaser after an offer is accepted, performed within the inspection contingency window, and used to decide whether to proceed, negotiate repairs or credits, or walk away. It protects the buyer and is the most common type we perform in Savage. A pre-listing inspection is ordered by the seller before the home hits the market, and it lets the seller find and fix issues on their own terms, complete the Minnesota seller disclosure accurately, price the home realistically, and present buyers with transparency that builds confidence and reduces renegotiation. The same local concerns apply to both, such as bluff-lot grading, sump and drain-tile function, ice-dam evidence, and radon, but the timing shifts the leverage. Some Savage sellers even share a clean pre-listing report to attract stronger offers. Whichever side of the transaction you are on, we tailor the inspection to your goal.
