Hello runako. Thank you for your thoughtful comments. If PropBox existed when you experienced your last transaction, I believe the concerns you had at that time would not have existed. The giant water repairs would have been exposed prior to the time you made the offer. PropBox recommends a per-sale home inspection, and requires the seller to complete a seller condition report. PropBox also provides all sellers with a range of value like other sites do today, but the seller shares that information upfront to the prospective buyer. PropBox is an advertising platform so there is no stopping a seller from getting help if they have a question the platform hasn't already answered. We are hopeful the seller will have a pre-sale home inspection, professional photography, and we require a seller condition report. Here is how I summarize what will happen and why:

PropBox believes transparency builds trust. Trust between buyer and seller has been absent in real estate for over 100 years. Astute home buyers will recognize your advertisement's value and respond favorably to your efforts. You empower the buyer to decide to go ahead when you share information upfront that they would only see after they made an offer, if ever, in a typical transaction. They avoid the cost of a home inspection, and they learn the condition from an independent professional trained to find any flaws, as opposed to you accepting the liability. They review your condition report, which helps them understand what to expect. They can act with confidence because of your efforts.

You benefit with a greater chance they will make an offer because they have seen the virtual presentation, know the condition, and communicate with the people who know the house and neighborhood best. You will likely receive a higher offer and enjoy a far lower risk of issues post-closing. You are leading the effort to make a real estate transaction fast, simple, inexpensive, and valuable to both parties.
