Summary answer: It's not required, but given Burke's fast pace, I'd genuinely recommend it — a pre-listing inspection lets you address issues on your own schedule rather than discovering them mid-contract, when Burke's typical 5-11 day pace leaves little room to react.

I'm Johnny with JQ Real Estate. Here's how I think about this for Burke sellers specifically.

Why this matters more given Burke's pace

Factor Impact
Fast time to pending (5-11 days) Little buffer to address surprises discovered during a buyer's inspection

What a pre-listing inspection actually gives you

  1. Time to address issues on your own schedule
  2. Stronger negotiating position once buyers are already competing
