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.

Michael C.
This company is fantastic. I followed Edward around while he did his job, and he was kind enough to explain everything that he saw, the good and the bad. Edward was very knowledgeable, and he truly did a complete and thorough inspection. I am very satisfied with NPI. Thank you for your time, we love our new home!
Leonor D.
I have used National Property Inspections twice already, and each time they have provided high quality service, and a thorough walkthrough of the property. We have their number on speed dial, and we're ready to use them again in the future. Highly recommend Edward and NPI's services.
Jay Y.
Edward and his team did a fantastic job!! As a General Contractor for 35+ years, I truly understand the details needed to provide an honest understanding of the property. Every item they identified was backed up with clear and concise pictures that illustrated the verbiage used in the report. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!
Michael C.
5-Star Inspector! This is my third time using NPI for a home inspection. As usual, Edward did a great job and provided a detailed post-inspection report. Nothing goes unnoticed! New build or old, call Edward, you won’t regret it. Thanks again!
Andrew K.
Edward did a FANTASTIC job inspecting the house I was looking to buy. He was very thorough, efficient, and professional. He answered any questions I had, and explained his process in a manner I could easily understand. This is the easiest 5 star review I've written. His work is top quality, and I only wish I could rate higher. Thank you.
Jim B.
NPI is a great company to work with. We scheduled within days and the inspection report was sent very quickly to our email. We then could send our seller's realtor a list of items we wanted corrected before closing in only a matter of minutes. Very professional and reliable company that makes this step in the buying process as easy as it gets.
Tim K.
Edward was great to work with - very responsive and accommodating. We needed a quick inspection in between renters on a home we were purchasing and he was able to work us in. We were buying a home site unseen so we had several questions/concerns. Edward was always quick to respond. We could not have been happier with his service.
Daniel D.
The report we received was detailed, complete with descriptions and pictures, easily identifiable issues and locations, and properly referenced to be able to simply provide a repair person/company without needing any additional information. The best inspection and documentation I have ever experienced. Five stars may not be enough!
Patricia H.
My new neighbors and I needed whole-house inspections AFTER purchasing. Edward responded right away and is EXTREMELY knowledgeable. I believe our inspections will be worth their weight in gold with a third-party to speak on our behalf. It appears I stumbled upon the best of the best and, if you are reading this, now you have, too!
Joyce F.
If you are looking for a home inspector, stop your search now! You have found the best around with Edward Lannon. He is thorough, responsive, and he found numerous problems that another inspector missed just 4 months earlier when the property was purchased by the seller. NPI literally found problems that saved us thousands. You will be very pleased with his work, I know I certainly am!
