When buying or selling a home, having the right team in place can make all the difference. Two key players in the real estate process are the realtor and the home inspector. When they work together, they create a smoother, more positive experience for clients — and help deals close faster and with greater confidence.
At NexLevel Home Inspections, we believe in building strong partnerships with realtors across Calgary, Cochrane, Airdrie, Chestermere, Conrich, Okotoks, and High River. Here’s how realtors and home inspectors can work hand-in-hand for success.
1. Build Trust Through Open Communication
Why it matters:
Clear and honest communication between the realtor and the home inspector sets the tone for the entire transaction.
How to do it:
-
Realtors should share important details about the property and the client’s concerns before the inspection.
-
Inspectors should provide realtors with a heads-up about any major findings before discussing them with the client.
This helps avoid surprises and ensures everyone is prepared to guide the client properly.
2. Set Proper Expectations With Clients
Why it matters:
Sometimes, buyers expect a home inspection to be a “pass or fail” test — but that’s not the case. Every home, even new ones, will have some issues.
How to do it:
-
Realtors can explain that a home inspection is meant to educate, not alarm.
-
Inspectors can focus on explaining the severity of issues and prioritizing concerns.
When clients know what to expect, they feel more confident and less stressed during the process.
3. Be Present During the Home Inspection
Why it matters:
When realtors attend inspections, they stay informed in real time. This allows them to better support their clients and address concerns immediately.
How to do it:
-
Be available during the inspection (even if just at the beginning and end).
-
Take notes or ask questions that your client might forget.
A unified presence shows professionalism and commitment to the client’s best interests.
4. Collaborate to Find Solutions
Why it matters:
A good realtor-inspector team doesn’t just point out problems — they help find solutions.
How to do it:
-
Inspectors explain the problem clearly and suggest possible fixes.
-
Realtors work with the client to negotiate repairs or adjust the deal accordingly.
This teamwork creates a win-win situation for everyone involved.
5. Recommend Reliable Professionals
Why it matters:
After an inspection, buyers might need specialists like electricians, plumbers, or roofers.
How to do it:
-
Realtors and inspectors should have a trusted network of licensed contractors to recommend.
-
Offering vetted referrals helps clients feel cared for and supported.
This step can also speed up necessary repairs and keep the transaction on track.
