Pre-Offer Checklist
The questions to ask and items to investigate before making an offer
Overview
A ranked list of what to look into before making an offer, from the foundation worth a structural engineer to the sewer line needing scoping. Built from system ages, hazard exposure, permit history, and tax trends. Buyers negotiate from the list, and inspectors use the same items to orient a site visit.
What’s included
- Question or investigation item title
- Urgency flag
- Plain-language description with cost guidance
- Priority rank ordering
- Foundation, sewer line, and system condition concerns
- Flood insurance and hazard exposure concerns
- Open and recent permit review items
- Tax trend and carrying cost considerations
What teams use it for
Buyer checklists before an offer
Hand a buyer the specific questions worth asking on this property, ranked by urgency, with a cost range attached to each one.
Preparing investors for negotiation
Go into a negotiation with costed, sourced items. A number with a source behind it carries further than an impression.
Telling clients what to inspect and why
Turn a general inspection into a targeted one, with the reasoning attached, so the inspector's time goes where this property has history.
