Pre-listing preparation · Jacksonville
Pre-Listing InspectionSell from the strong side of the table.
Every sale has one inspection that matters. When it happens on the buyer's timeline, it's leverage against you. When it happens on yours — before the sign goes up — it's a repair plan, a pricing tool, and a negotiation you never have to have.
- 24-hour digital report — photo-documented, full SOP scope
- Leverage-ordered summary — what buyers demand vs. what they accept
- Insurance flags — the items carriers will question
- Repair re-inspection — document fixes before listing
Listing prep, in four steps.
Schedule ahead of listing
Book around photographers and staging — we work to your launch date.
Full-scope inspection
The same evaluation your buyer's inspector will run, done for you first.
Repair-decision summary
Findings grouped by leverage: fix, quote, or disclose.
List with the file
Repair on your terms — and meet their inspector already knowing.
Get inspected before the sign goes up.
Full Standards-of-Practice scope, seller's sequencing.
The same systems a buyer's inspector will evaluate, documented for you first — with the findings organized the way a seller actually uses them.
Every major system
Structure, exterior, roof, attic, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, interior, and appliances — the full §468.8311 scope, nothing trimmed.
Repair-decision summary
Findings grouped by leverage: safety items buyers will demand, system issues that affect financing and insurance, and cosmetic notes you can disclose as-is.
Insurance-visibility check
The roof age, panel brands, and plumbing materials that trigger carrier scrutiny for your buyer's insurance — flagged before they can stall a closing.
Documentation for disclosure
A dated, licensed record of condition that gives you and your agent a factual baseline for Florida's disclosure obligations.
Re-inspection option
Complete your repairs, and we can document the corrected items — so the file that meets the buyer shows resolution, not just discovery.
A report built to be read twice — by you, then by their side.
The pre-listing report does double duty. First it's your private repair-and-pricing worksheet. Then — if you and your agent choose to share it — it becomes the listing's credibility document: a licensed inspector's photo-documented account of condition, dated before the negotiation started.

Brian Walker, CMI™
Every Lunar inspection is performed and signed by Brian Walker — an InterNACHI Certified Master Inspector and My Safe Florida Home participating inspector whose background includes contracted housing inspections supporting U.S. Army housing programs, with 20+ years of building, remodeling, and field experience behind the credential.
One inspector, one standard: contractor-grade evaluation, insurer-grade documentation, and a direct line to the person who actually walked your property.
Lunar Home & Commercial Inspections
Seller questions, answered.
Because the buyer's inspection becomes their negotiating leverage. A pre-listing inspection gives you the same information first — while you still have time to repair on your terms, price accordingly, or disclose confidently instead of renegotiating under deadline.
Yes — the same full evaluation to Florida's home-inspection Standards of Practice (§468.8311, Florida Statutes, and DBPR rules): structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, interior, attic, and appliances, photo-documented within 24 hours.
No. The report is information, not a repair order. Many sellers fix the high-leverage items, get contractor quotes for others, and simply disclose the rest — a strategy your listing agent can build the pricing around.
That's your call, made with your agent. Many sellers publish it with the listing to signal transparency and reduce renegotiation; others use it privately as a preparation checklist. Either way, you decide with full information.
Florida sellers must disclose known material defects. An inspection documents what a licensed professional found and when — a clear factual baseline for you and your agent to prepare disclosures. It is documentation, not legal advice; consult your agent or attorney on disclosure decisions.
The standard behind every visit.
Certified Master Inspector
The profession's highest credential. Reports signed by a CMI carry weight with agents, lenders, and insurance carriers.
Federal-contract discipline
Brian performed contracted housing inspections supporting U.S. Army housing programs. Your property gets the same checklist rigor — nothing skipped, everything documented.
24-hour reports
Photo-documented digital reports, most delivered within 24 hours, so inspection contingencies and carrier deadlines stay on track.
Technology on every visit
Thermal imaging and instrument diagnostics deployed whenever conditions call for them — documented in the same report.
Northeast Florida native
Coastal wind exposure, mid-century Jacksonville wiring, St. Johns new builds — we inspect what this region actually has.
Support after the report
Complimentary repair re-inspection verification and plain-English answers — the report is the start of the relationship, not the end.
