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.

Extremely impressed and thoroughly pleased with Jason's inspection. Jason spent 3 hours completing a warranty inspection on our home and created an entire 55-page report within less than 24 hours. NPI came highly recommended from our realtor and I couldn't agree with the recommendation more.

I was in a bind and Shelley went above and beyond to get Jason out to inspect what I needed in a timely manner. I can’t thank him and everyone at NPI enough for the rush and the detailed report. They even reached out afterwards to make sure I understood everything. I would most definitely recommend NPI!

My wife and I both spent over 25 years in residential real estate in another state, and Jason Lee is absolutely the most professional home inspector we have ever worked with. We highly recommend National Property Inspections, and especially Jason!

Jason was very professional, polite, and prepared. He gave a very thorough inspection report and explained it well when asked. This is my first home inspection experience and I am very impressed with this company. Reach out to NPI for your inspection!

When my realtor saw the detail that Jason provided in his inspection report, they said that they had never seen such a comprehensive inspection before. I have now used Jason on three different properties and I am very impressed with the quality of work. Thank you, Jason!

This is a very thorough inspector who knows how to locate potential or existing problems. I have been a real estate broker for 30 years and used National Property Inspections for my own purchase for a good reason!! Excellent job!!

I found National Property Inspections to be very responsive to my questions and concerns. The property inspection report I have reviewed is very comprehensive. Folks, customer service is NOT dead with this company. I highly recommend them for all of your inspection needs.
