Proudly Providing Inspection Services for Clearwater, Palm Harbor, Dunedin, Largo, Tarpon Springs, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar, 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.

Our Client Testimonials

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

Bruce with National Property inspections is not only a top notch inspector, he’s also a great person who truly cares about providing you with an exceptional inspection report. If you're in need of an honest, by-the-book property inspector, make sure to keep Bruce with NPI in mind.

Great experience, speedy service, great price. Bruce is extremely professional and he had the inspection back to me very quickly after coming out. I'm so grateful that this was done with this level of quality. Thank you for your help!

I've relied on Bruce from NPI for Wind Mitigation and 4-Point Inspections for 3 separate properties. He is phenomenal and always a consummate professional. I wholeheartedly recommend Bruce and NPI for all of your home inspection needs.

Bruce Peavler was extremely thorough with the inspection. He walked me through the major areas from his report and showed them to me in the house so I was clear about the issues. I would definitely recommend this company and especially Bruce if you want to feel confident when you buy a house.

I appreciate the thorough, professional inspection provided by Bruce of NPI. He was able to schedule within three days of request, took his time to examine the property in detail, and he provided a report by the next day, identifying a number of subtle issues that might have been missed otherwise. Worth the investment.

My realtor used NPI to do a home inspection prior to my wife and me buying our town house 5 years ago, and I was impressed with the company enough back then to use them again for a Wind Mitigation Inspection. I will be a customer for life. Good old-fashioned service, fair prices, and expert reports. What more can you ask for?
