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.

What's Included in an NPI Home Inspection?

Roof & Attic

NPI inspectors walk your roof to identify issues like warped shingles or worn flashings, and attics are checked for signs of water intrusion and wildlife.

Plumbing

All plumbing fixtures are evaluated for proper draining and signs of leaks. Your inspector also checks the hot/cold water supplies. 

Electrical

Your inspector will carefully evaluate the home’s electrical system, including the service entrance and panel. Outlets will also be tested.

HVAC

The full HVAC system will be evaluated, including the furnace, air conditioning unit, and ductwork as access allows.

Built-In Appliances

The functionality of built-in appliances such as ovens, fridges, and dishwashers will be documented in your report

Structure

All visible areas of your foundation, flooring, framing, and attic are thoroughly examined for safety, integrity, and quality of workmanship.

Walls & Ceilings

Your NPI inspector identifies the condition of the home’s walls and ceilings, looking for signs of water intrusion, cracks, or other potential issues.

Windows & Doors

Doors are checked for sticking, which could indicate a foundation issue. Windows are assessed to ensure they’re property sealed to outside elements.

Crawl Space

If applicable, crawl spaces are checked for signs of mold growth, wood rot, wildlife, and damaged structural components.

Exterior

The exterior inspection includes evaluation of the roof, gutters, windows, and siding.

Lots & Grounds

We assess the lot and grounds, including the driveway, sidewalks, and grading. Issues that could lead to water intrusion are identified.

Decks & Patios

If your home includes a deck or patio, your inspector will check its integrity and for cracks or signs of wood damage.

Our Client Testimonials

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

Brittni N.
Our experience with NPI was fantastic! Blake was helpful and informative before, during, and after the inspection! The format of the inspection report was so functional and easy to understand, and the team was very accessible and easy to work with.
Jacob R.
I was very impressed with the timing and professionalism from Blake. He was able to fit me in just a day before the holidays and still have the report out as well. He was also very detailed and helped discuss certain thoughts about the house as well. Thanks for the help, Blake! Would highly recommend.
David T.
Blake was punctual and thorough. He explained the home's issues ranging from minimal to needing immediate attention, and recommended quality contractors. His investigation of the property restored a sigh of relief to my wife and I, knowing he was on site.
Gail C.
This was a great service. Blake and Josh were finished before I knew it with a thorough report and a wee bit of guidance as to how to go forward. Which I always appreciate. They were professional and very good at explaining to a lay person how things worked. I was very impressed.
Sundari D.
Blake and Josh were kind, professional, and explained things so I could understand them. As this is my first time buying a house, I was nervous. But after reviewing the report, my mind was put at ease. I can’t express how wonderful these two individuals are! I will definitely only be going to them in the future! Thank you so much!😊
Tekia K.
They are really thorough, and that’s always a plus! My inspector was Josh. He is always awesome and was very informative! The report was also informative with pictures, suggestions, and recommendations. I lost count of how many inspections they've done for me, but I highly recommend this company!
Alec V.
Blake and Josh were great to work with! Easy to schedule, great personality and conversation, and most importantly, they were great at discussing what the inspection was about and explaining some concerns. Certainly would recommend these gentlemen and use their services again as needed.
Henry L.
Blake was very professional and thorough in his visit for our home inspection. The follow up report was timely and detailed, with pictures of conditions and issues. This was extremely helpful as we are out of town and had not seen the house prior to inspection. I highly recommend this service.
Matthew C.
I went with NPI on recommendation from my realtor and I am glad that I did. Blake did a great inspection and spotted things that I would have never even thought to look at, much less assess. He is also very personable and funny, which is just a plus. I would definitely go with NPI again.
Amber F.
Blake is knowledgeable and an excellent resource. He also provides a free home maintenance guide to keep you on track. Love that I'm supporting a veteran - Thank you for your service! I'm glad I have them as a resource
