It is called a No Surprises inspection and he charges only $200! Having this type of inspection prior to listing helps to more accurately price the home. After this inspection, the seller is not blind-sided with unexpected costs mid-transaction and is a much happier client!

Proposing one would definitely separate an agent from the competition. Agents could work in conjunction with general contractors to take care of any deficiencies and may be able to adjust the list price to compensate for the repairs.
