Do I really need a home inspection and what does the inspector look for?
A home inspection is not required, but it's one of the best protections you have as a buyer. Arizona's default 10 day inspection period starts the day after contract acceptance and lets you hire professionals to evaluate the property. Inspectors examine the roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, structure, grading and drainage, windows, doors, appliances and more. They identify safety issues, deferred maintenance, and items nearing the end of their useful life. The report helps you negotiate repairs or credits, or decide whether to move forward. The specifics depend on your situation and a licensed inspector should confirm, and Jon can connect you with one.
