Pre-Listing Home Inspections for Sellers in Denver, Colorado

Proudly Providing Inspection Services for Denver, Aurora, Thornton, Centennial, Commerce City, Northglenn, Brighton, Watkins, Foxfield, and Surrounding Areas

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.

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

Desiree R.
Mike and his team at National Property Inspections always do a great job taking care of my clients. He is a wealth of knowledge and has an easy way of calmly presenting the facts to my buyers. He is great at helping them understand the properties they're buying and any issues or repairs that may need to be addressed.
Marc W.
This is the second time my wife and I have used Mike with National Property Inspections. Mike has always gone above and beyond in his observations and honesty when it comes to a property. Mike never tries to hide anything and always puts the buyer first. Highly recommend.
Rachael R.
During the inspection, Mike was attentive, thoughtful, and friendly. He took time to explain his findings, their impacts, and provided an organized, easy-to-read report. I can't personally speak to what to expect as a first-time homebuyer, but my father, who does this often, said: "Wow, that guy did a really thorough inspection."
Nancy G.
Mike and his team are the greatest. Mike is knowledgeable and can speak to my clients in a way that they understand. He doesn't scare people with his findings, and his office team is exceptional. I use NPI as much as possible because I trust he will do the job right and treat me and my clients with a certain finesse that only Mike can do!
Julia S.
Mike was a fantastic choice to inspect our potential home! He was recommended by our realtor, and we were very impressed by his wealth of knowledge, professionalism, and kindness. We highly recommend choosing Mike!
Olivia H.
It was wonderful to work with Mike Barnhill and his team to get our new-build home checked out. Communication from inquiring about quotes, setting up the apt, and follow-up was fast and transparent. Probably the quickest aspect of our homeownership journey. We highly recommend booking with them for your home inspection needs!
Victor M.
Mike was personable, professional, and thorough with his inspection. Since we were looking at a new home build, I thought I would be wasting our money. However, Mike found areas in need of attention. Always hire a pro like Mike to inspect your home - no matter how old your new home is. Thank you Mike and National Property Inspections!!
Kevin R.
Mike has proven himself to be a trusted home inspector for clients and a valuable educator through his agent trainings. He knows his stuff and knows how to communicate it in a way that isn't unnecessarily alarming to clients.
Doug P.
Mike Barnhill is thorough and always offers excellent context for the property, explanations and context about systems, and all without being overly dramatic. Clients have the information they need to proceed with confidence to make a decision about a home that is right for them.
Mason F.
Mike was our inspector and did an excellent job. He was very thorough and documented all his findings very well. My fiance and I are first-time homebuyers; Mike took extra time to walk through his findings with us and what they mean/what the impacts could be. Would recommend 100 times over.
