Ethics of Home Inspector Selling A House Pre-Inspected?

[Adam Baker]

Hi, I am thinking of selling my house with a home inspection report included uppon offer. Is this a good idea? Also, I am a Certified Home Inspector, and I am curious what people's thoughts on the ethics involved with this would be?

Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'd look at your report but I'd take it with a grain of salt. Its fine to include it, but I wouldn't assign any value to it. That is, I wouldn't increase the price I was willing to pay because you did the inspection, nor would I pay you for it.
