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.

We used NPI for a new home purchase recently. From the first contact, I was impressed with the professionalism and courtesy of everyone I dealt with. Jim personally did our inspection and we were impressed. He completed the report later that same day. Thank you for the great customer service and the thorough inspection!

Whenever my clients need an inspector I always recommend Jim with NPI first. He is easy to work with, easy to schedule, professional, knowledgeable, and creates a very detailed, easy-to-read report. He gets his reports to his agents and customers in a timely manner so that they can make their decisions within the inspection period.

I highly recommend NPI for your home inspection. Jim was very professional, educational, and extremely knowledgeable. We felt very confident with his inspection, and we appreciated his friendly and humble manner. The detailed home inspection report was very professional and extensive. Thank you very much Jim!!!

Jim was professional, concise, and very timely. The report was easy to read, and I really liked the fact that he included pictures. This was really important as we live in Ohio and we are purchasing this condo in Florida. Jim was very friendly and best of all, a fellow Buckeye. Go Bucks!

Jim Vaughn from National Property Inspections inspected my DR Horton home, and then re-inspected it after repairs were made. He followed up with me promptly to discussed his findings. Jim was responsive, professional, high-quality, and provided great value to me. I highly recommend!
