15% of Home Sales Fell Apart Right Before Closing, Why?

Here's a stat that will stop you in your tracks: 15% of home sales recently fell apart right before closing. Imagine thinking your home is sold, then the deal dies.

The number one reason deals die is inspections. With prices and rates already stretching buyers, they won't touch surprise repairs, especially big ones like non-insurable electrical panels, bad foundations, or rotted framing.

Hi, I'm Tanja Odzak, Realtor with eXp Realty, helping people sell and buy homes right here in the East Bay for the last 10 years.

That's why a pre-listing inspection is a game-changer. That's an inspection done and paid for by the seller, before the home hits the market. It helps you recognize and fix issues upfront, avoid last-minute renegotiations, and build trust so your home sells faster and for more money. It even helps you get more serious offers that are less likely to fall through.

I'm Tanja Odzak, and I've sold over $100 million worth of homes with a decade of experience in the East Bay. Don't risk losing thousands or watching your deal collapse right before your eyes. Let's talk about how to stay ahead of the competition and get your home sold.
