An Arizona certified home inspection company whose inspectors have performed more than 115,000 inspections since 1988: resale homes of all sizes, new-home assessments, termite, and pool and spa inspections.
What an inspector does in an Arizona sale
A home inspector is the professional the buyer hires to examine the house before the purchase becomes final: roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, water heater, and above all in Arizona, the air conditioning. The inspector's written report becomes the basis for the repair negotiation, which in Arizona happens on the BINSR form.
Arizona home inspectors work under state standards of professional practice, and the standard purchase contract gives the buyer ten days after acceptance to inspect and investigate anything that matters to them.
What to ask Advantage Inspection Service before you hire
- Arizona-certified, carrying errors-and-omissions insurance
- Sample report you can read before booking: photos, clear severity, plain English
- AC systems treated seriously, not a two-minute thermostat check
- Add-on capability where relevant: pool, termite/wood-destroying insects, sewer scope
- Report delivered fast; the 10-day window makes 24 to 48 hour turnaround matter
- Willing to walk the findings with you by phone after you read the report
What inspectors typically cost in Arizona
A standard single-family inspection in the Valley typically lands in the low-to-mid hundreds, commonly around $300 to $500 depending on size. Add-ons stack on top: pool inspections often $75 to $150, termite inspections often under $100, a sewer camera scope a couple hundred more. Larger homes and outbuildings push it up.
The buyer pays, at the time of inspection. Sellers doing a pre-listing inspection pay the same ballpark and buy themselves negotiating calm with it.
