If the inspection reveals problems, you'll need to fix them and pay for
the follow-up verification visit of course. But giving it to viewers up
front can help put someone who's on the fence over the edge.

When we were looking for a house we came across one where they did
that - comparing the inspection report to the house made us wonder if
we were looking at the same house that was inspected! The first thing
we noticed when the Realtor opened the door to the crawl space was a
swarm of termites and the second was the unconnected lines of the
central Vacuum system! Other faults not noted in the report were easy
to see when we walked through the house!

In this case the inspection report that was available for the taking
by anyone looking at the house might have been a 'minus' with respect
to making it an attractive house to consider.
