What is the Arizona Buyer Advisory and do I need to read it?

The Arizona Buyer Advisory is a standardized form created by the Arizona Association of Realtors that outlines important considerations and potential issues when purchasing property in Arizona. It covers topics like inspections, property condition, title matters, insurance, HOAs, water availability, environmental concerns, and other Arizona specific issues. You are not legally required to read it, but it is strongly recommended that you do. The form is designed to help you understand what due diligence you should perform and what questions to ask during your home purchase. Your agent will provide this to you early in the process, typically before you start looking at properties. Reading it helps you make informed decisions and understand the home buying process in Arizona.
