What to look at first
Ask your inspector what is included, what is excluded and which areas were inaccessible. Air-conditioning equipment, roofing, drainage, electrical concerns and signs of prior moisture deserve clear explanations. If a report recommends a specialist, schedule that review promptly; a recommendation without a quote may not tell you the size of the financial commitment.
Separate safety concerns and major systems from ordinary upkeep. Review disclosure history and repair records alongside the report, then decide whether to request work, negotiate another permitted solution or make another contractually available choice. The seller’s response and your available remedies depend on the signed agreement. A home warranty does not eliminate the need to understand a known defect.
Bring these questions to the conversation
- Confirm access to the attic, roof, equipment and other relevant areas.
- Get specialist information before the applicable decision deadline.
- Put negotiated repairs and supporting documentation in writing.

The Broker’s Field Angle
Property location also affects the paperwork. A Queen Creek mailing address does not establish the county, taxing jurisdiction or utility provider. Confirm the parcel and title details rather than relying on a listing label. Jessica helps coordinate the transaction questions with the inspector, lender and escrow officer so one unresolved detail does not surprise everyone at the end.
