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.

If I could give Jim a 10+ star review, I would. Jim was very nice, very professional, and so easy to work with during the entire process. He was extremely thorough in his inspection and had so many pieces of advice to offer. I always appreciate good communication and in that department, Jim was exceptional. He was responsive and timely with all of his interactions. I have already recommended him to two people and would not hesitate to do so to others.

Jim is easy to contact, super helpful, personable, an effective communicator, loyal to his clients, and practical, honest and thorough in his inspection. His inspection report is easy to understand, user-friendly, and technologically updated.

Jim Farej did a inspection for one of my clients and was very thorough and professional. She and I both were very impressed that he took the time to go over the issues that he had found after completing the inspection and explained in detail what needed to be done in order to correct each issue. He was responsive to our calls or texts when we. needed to speak to him. Great guy!

Jim Farej is professional and very experienced. Showed up early and didn’t seem to worry about time but more about performing a detailed inspection. Jim's report was very well written supported by photo and video objective evidence. Because of his report the seller agreed to make all repairs without negotiation. I highly recommend Jim and NPI.
