Home Buyer

NBI (National Building Inspectors) is one of California's largest known privately owned Property Inspection company and employs only full-time professional inspectors, not part-time or subcontractors.

NBI utilizes the state-of-the-art computerized inspection system that insures the inspector observes and reports on every major component within the home.

 

Having NBI perform your home and termite inspection, you will have only one responsible company to deal with in the event of post-inspection problems.

 

We are the only company known to perform unbiased home and termite inspections. We do not perform any corrective work or chemical treatments on any home we inspect.

 

NBI is backed by professional liability (errors and omissions) and general liability insurance for your added protection. All inspections meet or exceed the inspection standards set by the California Real Estate Inspection Association (CREIA).

 

Why perform home and termite inspections?

Studies have found that home buyers spend less time inspecting their future home than they spend grocery shopping for one week. A home is typically the most expensive single acquisition you will ever make. Just as it is important to have a mechanic check out a used car, it is equally important to have a pre-owned home inspected by a professional home inspector.

 

It's false economy to select an inspection company based upon their inspection fee only. Often times a "FREE" or "Low Priced" inspection is far more expensive than a fairly priced inspection.

 

Even though NBI does not perform corrective work or chemical treatments, we are very knowledgeable of local repair prices. As an added customer service, we do provide you with "Cost Approximations" for all the corrective work recommended in our termite reports. In this way, you can determine if contractor bids are fair. We also provide you with a list of qualified contractors in your area that can perform all termite repairs. Use your contractor or use one of the contractors listed in NBI's reports.

Home Seller -

 

Why should a home seller get the property inspected?

Eliminate surprises by having your home thoroughly inspected prior to placing it on the market. Knowledge is power in all negotiations: Know what you are selling before you put it on the market. Too often sellers will enter into a sales contract that meets their predetermined net revenue requirements only to be confronted with unexpected expenses after the buyer's inspections are performed.

 

Understanding your responsibilities regarding the findings on home and termite inspection reports can save you thousands of dollars. Making repair decisions before you place your home on the market allows much more flexibility than what is possible after a buyer is involved.
