Know exactly what gets inspected, what to look for, and which Arizona-certified inspectors to call. A thorough home inspection protects your investment before you close.
Here's what happens from the moment your offer is accepted through receiving your inspection report.
Once your offer is accepted, you typically have 10 days under the Arizona Purchase Contract to complete your inspection. Schedule your inspector within 24–48 hours of acceptance — inspectors book fast.
Select an inspector who is ASHI-certified (American Society of Home Inspectors) or InterNACHI-certified and licensed in Arizona. See the directory below for recommended inspectors.
You have the right to be present during the inspection. Plan to attend — the inspector will walk you through findings in real time. Bring a notepad and ask questions freely.
You'll receive a written report — usually within 24 hours — detailing every finding with photos. Review it carefully with your agent. Items are typically flagged as safety concerns, major defects, or maintenance items.
Using the BINSR form (Buyer's Inspection Notice and Seller's Response), you can request repairs, ask for a price reduction, or accept the property as-is. Your agent will guide this negotiation.
Standard inspections don't cover everything. In Arizona, consider: Termite/WDO inspection (required by many lenders), Pool/spa inspection, Sewer scope, Roof certification, or Mold/air quality testing.
