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.

Severn Aaserude and National Property Inspections did an amazing job inspecting our building. Severn is very knowledgeable and certainly knows what to look for. This is not the first time we used him. I would not hesitate hiring him if you need an inspection on your property.

I couldn't be happier with the experience we just had with Severn! Despite the size of the large commercial property, the level of detail in the report was incredible. It's clear Severn and his team have a true commitment to their clients and a passion for their work. I would highly recommend Severn to anyone needing a top-notch inspection – they set the bar high.

This is a husband and wife team that was professional, punctual, and very thorough. They had the patience to answer all of my questions. I would highly recommend Severn, Marti, and National Property Inspections!

Very efficient! Severn's inspection was super thorough, and he communicated very well, explaining each issue he found and highlighting the good things about the home. His report was in-depth, yet easy to read and understand. I’ll definitely recommend Severn to my next homebuyer! My clients are so happy in their new home.

Severn did a great inspection and made sure to tell me what I needed to know to make a good decision on buying a house. When contacted he made an appointment quickly for the inspection and kept me informed along the way. Great company to go with.
