At NPI, we know that selling your home can feel overwhelming. When you don’t know the full condition of your home, a buyer’s inspection ordered during the closing process can lead to delays, price negotiations, re-negotiations, and last-minute contractor repair estimates. With a pre-listing inspection from NPI, you can enter negotiations prepared and proactive. Fewer surprises and last-minute repairs help you sell faster for a higher price.

What are the Benefits of a Pre-Listing Inspection?

Sell Faster For More Money: A home that has been pre-inspected is more attractive to buyers. With a report that documents the current condition of the home, buyers are more likely to feel confident in making an offer quickly. A pre-listing inspection also allows you to set a competitive asking price based on the actual condition of your home, reducing the likelihood of last-minute price reductions or extended negotiations.
Increase Buyer’s Confidence: A pre-listing inspection provides transparency, showing buyers that you’ve been a proactive homeowner and kept the property in good condition. When buyers feel confident that there are no hidden surprises, they are more likely to make strong offers.
Reduce Chance of Negotiations During Closing: One of the most stressful parts of selling a home is often the negotiations that occur following a buyer’s inspection. If hidden issues are discovered during the buyer's inspection, it can lead to last-minute demands for repairs or price reductions that could potentially derail the sale. By conducting a pre-listing inspection, you can address any problems before listing the home, minimizing the chance of negotiations and helping to ensure a smoother closing process.

Our Client Testimonials

Here’s what our inspection clients have to say about their experience with NPI.

Mr. Talley did a great job on our home inspection. He was very knowledgeable and went into detail explaining the issues and answering all of our questions. We feel way more confident in purchasing a home. I highly recommend NPI for your home inspections!

Micah was super knowledgeable and helpful in our decision making process. As a buyer we feel confident in the structural integrity of the home we’re buying and have a sense of relief that we know the new house from head to toe. Without Micah and NPI Fort Smith, we wouldn’t be able to say this.

My husband and I were extremely pleased with the in-depth, thorough, and expedient inspection report. My husband had questions but arrives home late. Despite this, Micah promptly answered his call even though it was late into the evening. Thank you so much for living up to your reviews. We highly recommend this company!

We recently had our home inspected and we couldn't be more pleased with the entire process. From start to finish, Micah was incredibly professional, thorough, and attentive to every detail. We highly recommend NPI to anyone in need of a comprehensive home inspection. Thank you for making this an excellent experience!

National Property Inspections was able to schedule me within a couple of days of our offer being accepted on the house we were purchasing. Turnaround time for the inspection report was less than 24 hours; preventing any delays in the closing time! Super friendly, helpful and very thorough! Would highly recommend!!!
