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.

Val H.
We spoke to Eddie a week before the inspection and he was very professional. He also gave us an awesome deal on 3 of the many services offered by his company! Jared was the inspector and he was also very professional and informative. I will be using NPI in the future as needed. Great team, Eddie!
Edwin W.
NPI did a couple of 6-unit building inspections for me, and they tailored the inspection to what I needed. They were very responsive and provided a comprehensive report. I definitely recommend and will be using him again.
Byron W.
I'm very happy with the service from NPI. Eddie was very easy to communicate with throughout the entire process and he was able to accommodate my tight schedule. I have worked with several home inspectors over the years and I can say without a doubt, Eddie was the most thorough. I will definitely be using Eddie and NPI again.
Anthony P.
I had the pleasure of working with Eddie and I cannot recommend him enough. He is hardworking, dedicated, and he truly cares. He was upfront about any issues he discovered and provided me with valuable insights. Thank you, Eddie, for your exceptional service!
Nancy G.
I highly recommend Eddie! He is professional, direct, and so helpful. Our inspection needed to be done with little lead time, and I'm so thankful he could accommodate us as he was highly recommended by our realtor. It's reassuring to know he approached the job with the serious and knowledgeable intent that is required! Thank you again, Eddie.
Lauren S.
Eddie came as a fabulous referral from our wonderful realtor. We utilized Eddie's services on our first condo and he moved quickly. He was incredibly thorough and his detailed report was delivered to our inbox within a few hours (even on a Friday afternoon!). We would absolutely use Eddie for any property inspecting needs in the future! Thanks, Eddie!
Nick P.
Eddie did a great job on our home inspection. He arrived early to evaluate the roof and outdoor components, he answered all questions we had during the inspection, and, ultimately, he wrote an easily digestible report which helped us prioritize requests and close with confidence. I fully recommend Eddie to any home buyers or sellers!
Sam J.
I'm thankful that Eddie made time for our inspection with very short notice. Eddie's attentiveness was sensational! He pulled me aside for bigger issues while documenting smaller issues. I have only used one other inspector before but I significantly preferred Eddie. We will certainly be contacting him again for future inspections!
Arik D.
Eddie and his team were amazing to work with! Very knowledgeable, detailed, and great customer service. He arrived 1 hour early to the property to inspect the exterior, and didn’t leave until all our questions were answered. He went above and beyond to inspect every part of the home we bought, providing a detailed 85-page report. Thanks NPI!
Joman N.
Eddie was recommended to me and I found him to be professional, helpful, and honest. He gave me resources for further services and he even followed up to make sure I had the right assistance. I felt so confident that I made the right decision! I will use NPI again and I will highly recommend them to my family and my friends. Keep up the great job, Eddie!

What's Included in an NPI Home Inspection?

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. 

Electrical

Your inspector will carefully evaluate the home’s electrical system, including the service entrance and panel. Outlets will also be tested.

The full HVAC system will be evaluated, including the furnace, air conditioning unit, and ductwork as access allows.

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.

Windows & Doors
