Your Arizona Home Inspection Report Just Came In, Now What?

The Home Inspection Report Just Arrived, Now What?

If you're buying a home in Arizona, receiving the inspection report can feel overwhelming but it’s also one of the most important steps in protecting your investment. Whether you're purchasing in Phoenix, Scottsdale, or a growing suburb like Gilbert or Queen Creek, inspections are key to understanding the true condition of the home.

This is where we roll up our sleeves and dive in together, step by step.

1. Review the Report Thoroughly

The first thing we do is carefully go over the findings. Not everything listed on the report is a dealbreaker. In fact, some items like chipped paint or loose doorknobs are considered minor or cosmetic. We’ll focus our attention on the big-ticket items that could impact your safety, finances, or future resale value. These typically include:

• Roof condition (especially important in our Arizona climate!)

• Foundation issues

• Electrical and plumbing systems

• HVAC performance (a must in our desert heat!)

• 
  

2. Prioritize What Matters Most

Not every issue needs to be fixed before closing. Together, we’ll determine what’s critical for your peace of mind and what can wait. For example, a faulty AC unit in Tucson is a bigger concern than outdated flooring in a guest bedroom.

3. Craft a Smart Negotiation Strategy

Once we identify the major concerns, we’ll talk strategy. Should we request that the seller make repairs? Ask for a credit so you can handle the fixes after closing? Or, in some cases, proceed as-is? Every situation is different, and your needs come first.

I’ll help you balance what’s fair with what’s necessary always keeping your long-term investment top of mind.

4. Reassess If Needed

If something serious is uncovered, we’ll slow down and talk through it. It’s okay to take a step back and ask: “Does moving forward still feel right?” This is your future home, and you should never feel rushed or unsure.
