Purchasing a home is an exciting milestone, but the process can feel overwhelming. A home inspection is designed to provide you with peace of mind, yet it often brings an influx of information that’s hard to process all at once. During your inspection, you’ll receive: A detailed written report, A summary of findings, Photographs, and Valuable insights shared by your inspector. When combined with the seller's disclosure and your own observations, it can seem like too much to handle. So, what should you do? Take a Deep Breath. Most of the findings will involve: Maintenance recommendations, Life expectancies for systems and components, and Minor imperfections. These are helpful to know but usually not deal-breakers. The issues that matter most typically fall into these four categories: Major defects, such as structural failures. Conditions leading to major defects, like a small roof-flashing leak. Issues that may hinder your ability to finance, occupy, or insure the home. Safety hazards, such as exposed live wires in an electrical panel. Addressing What Matters Anything in these categories should be prioritized. Fortunately, many serious issues can be resolved affordably, particularly those in categories 2 and 4, to protect both life and property. Keep Things in Perspective Most sellers are honest and often unaware of defects uncovered during an inspection. However, it’s important to understand: Sellers are not obligated to fix everything in the report. No home is perfect. It’s unnecessary to jeopardize your deal over minor issues or deferred maintenance. Focus on what truly matters, and let us guide you through this process with clarity and professionalism.

We strongly encourage you to read and understand the entire inspection report. If you have any questions or need clarification, don’t hesitate to ask—we’re here to help. As part of our responsibility, we document defects observed during the inspection that we deem to be material. A material defect is a serious issue that requires immediate evaluation and correction by a qualified contractor or professional. Summary Report vs. Full Report To assist you in prioritizing, material defects will be highlighted in the summary report. However, it’s important to note that the summary is not the full inspection report. The complete report includes all observations, recommendations, and additional insights that are valuable for maintaining and understanding your property. Your inspection report is a critical tool for making informed decisions about your home—take the time to review it thoroughly.

Choosing the Right Home Inspector: A Responsibility You Can’t Overlook Your clients have successfully had their offer accepted—now it’s time to guide them through the next crucial step: choosing a home inspector. As a real estate professional, your fiduciary duty is to recommend the best possible inspectors to protect your clients’ interests. Avoid the Pitfalls Should you recommend the inspector who writes the softest reports? Should you choose someone who pays to be on your office’s preferred vendor list? Should you find the cheapest inspector? The answer to these questions is a resounding No, No, and absolutely not. Upholding Your Fiduciary Duty The National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics clearly outlines your responsibilities: Article 1: Protect and promote your clients’ best interests. Article 6: Disclose any financial benefit you or your broker receive from recommending real estate services, including home inspectors. Recommending a subpar inspector—a "soft" inspector, one who indirectly pays for placement on a preferred list, or one who undercuts fees—violates these ethical obligations and compromises your fiduciary duty. A Conflict of Interest Because most real estate professionals earn a commission only when the transaction closes, your personal interests already conflict with your fiduciary responsibility to your client. Don’t exacerbate this conflict by steering clients toward an unqualified or overly lenient inspector. Best Practices for Recommending Inspectors The most ethical and effective way to fulfill your duties—and avoid negligent referral claims—is to recommend inspectors based solely on merit and expertise. While no agent can guarantee the thoroughness of an inspection, there’s a strong correlation between the quality of an inspector’s work and their fees: you get what you pay for. Guiding your clients to the cheapest option is not only a disservice; it can also be considered a violation of your fiduciary duty. When in doubt, prioritize quality over cost and help your clients choose inspectors known for their competence and professionalism. Remember: A thorough inspection is essential for your clients’ protection and peace of mind. The right inspector can make all the difference in the biggest investment of their lives.

We encourage you to be present during your home inspection. This is your opportunity to learn about your property firsthand. We’ll guide you through the important aspects of your home and address any questions you have along the way. Feel free to ask us questions. If anything concerns you or if you have any doubts, we’re here to provide answers during the final walkthrough. Our goal is to ensure you are fully informed and satisfied with the inspection process. We’ll work for you every step of the way until you feel confident and comfortable with your decision.

Selecting the right home inspector can be a challenge. Unlike other professionals you may hire, you likely won’t meet us until the inspection appointment. Furthermore, inspectors vary in their qualifications, experience, equipment, reporting methods, and pricing. Ultimately, the quality of your inspection depends on the individual inspector’s commitment and attention to detail. If you choose to work with us, we promise to give you our very best effort, ensuring a thorough and accurate inspection every time. This is our commitment to you. Sincerely, Home Inspector Dave

Before we begin your home inspection, we strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the following documents: Home Inspection Standards of Practice (www.nachi.org/sop) Code of Ethics (www.nachi.org/code_of_ethics) Arizona Standards of Professional Practice for Home Inspectors Home Inspection Agreement (to be signed before the inspection begins) After the inspection, please take the time to read the entire inspection report—not just the summary. Additionally, you will receive a Home Maintenance Book, which provides valuable information to help you care for and maintain your home. We want you to be fully informed every step of the way, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need further clarification.

A home inspector is a generalist, not a specialist. Our primary responsibility is to inspect the home and provide a detailed report on its condition as it was at the time of the inspection. The Reality of Homeownership It’s important for homeowners to understand that over time, things will break. Parts of your home will wear out, deteriorate, leak, or stop working altogether. These issues are a normal part of homeownership. What the Home Inspection Covers A home inspection does not include predictions of future events, house warranties, or guarantees that nothing will ever go wrong. For example, we cannot predict future roof leaks, plumbing issues, heating failures, or water intrusion. These types of problems fall outside the scope of the inspection and are ultimately the homeowner’s responsibility. What You Can Expect from the Inspection The inspection and report reflect the home’s condition at the time of the inspection. It will highlight any material defects observed on that date. However, a home inspection is not a guarantee that no issues will arise in the future. We cannot uncover every potential problem that could occur but will focus on visible, present defects. Remember, the home inspection provides a snapshot of your property on the day it’s conducted, and as a homeowner, you’ll need to stay proactive with maintenance and repairs.
