Types of Inspections offered:
Seller: This inspection is ordered by a homeowner priror to a sale of their home. This is informational for the seller and
allows a clear picture of actual costs associated with selling their home in the near future.
Buyer: This inspection is ordered by the potential buyer of a property. Generally during the 10 day inspection period
granted in most Arizona Real Estate Contracts. This inspection will reveal any findings to the buyer, and the buyer then
chooses to proceed with the sale, counter offer, or in rare cases back out of the deal.
Re-inspection: This type of inspection is ordered when the initial inspection is complete and the list of suggested
repairs are completed. For a very reduced cost an inspector will come back and look over any repairs to be sure that all
are completed properly, and up to the most current standards.
Home Preservation: This is for the homeowner who wants to be sure that necessary repairs/improvements are being
done. Initially the home is inspected and the full fee is charged. After the initial inspection we will return once a year to
do a complete inspection, at a significantly reduced set-price for up to 5 years. This is geared toward the homeowner
who wants to be sure that proper maintenance is ocurring. This is a great idea for anyone!
Warranty Inspection: This is for the smart shopper who has purchased a new home, that is still under warranty. We
will inspect the home, and find any issues that need to be addressed. Once we are finished you can request the builder
complete the repairs as you are still warranted. We check things that typical homeowner's may not be aware of.
What does an inspection report consist of?
You will receive a report detailing each item checked. If there are items of concern there will also be photos taken, and
you will be given copies of the photos. The inspection report is approximately 32 pages, if necessary there will be a
comments page and possibly additional pages for photos.
