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.

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.

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.

Our Client Testimonials

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

Highly recommend Mark Naquin for your home inspection! He was extremely thorough and took time to explain things to me after he was finished. I received a very detailed report with pictures and he encouraged me to contact him if I had any further questions.

Mark Naquin was an amazing inspector. He did a more than acceptable job! Mark found items I would have never thought of, and he took the time to explain in detail after the inspection was completed. I would highly recommend Mark again. 10/10!!

Mark was very professional and personable. We really appreciated that he took the time to call and go over the results of his inspection rather than just sending the report. Thanks Mark! You rock!

I was very impressed with the detailed inspection report. I am currently buying an older home and hired Mr. Mark to do a full inspection prior to buying the house. He was very professional and thorough, and I would absolutely recommend NPI to my friends and family.

We had a home inspection conducted before buying an older home, and Mark Naquin was very thorough and professional. We felt he did a thorough inspection and was forthcoming with any and all discrepancies. I would refer any friends to NPI. Thank you!

I highly recommend using NPI before purchasing your home. Mark left me feeling confident that I was buying a solid house with a minor honey-do list. He's up to date with current standards, was happy to answer questions, and he even offered advice on some repairs. Very happy with NPI’s service. Worth every dollar!

Mark was very through during our home inspection. He was polite and answered EVERY QUESTION that I asked along the way. I’d highly recommend Mark and National Property Inspections to anyone needing to have a home inspection done!!!
