For sellers and listing agents
A pre-listing inspection turns surprises into a plan.
Find what a buyer's inspector would find, before the home hits the MLS. Sellers get time to fix or price for it. Agents get fewer renegotiations and faster closes.
- · Reduce mid-escrow surprises
- · Decide what to repair, disclose, or price for
- · Give buyers a stronger first impression
How sellers use it

New construction
Four checkpoints from foundation to warranty.
Building or buying new in Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Buckeye, Goodyear, or anywhere in Metro Phoenix? Catch issues at the phase they actually show up.
- 01
Pre-slab / foundation
When
Before the slab pour, while reinforcement is exposed.
Checks
Reinforcement, plumbing rough-ins, vapor barrier, grade prep.
Why
Anything wrong here gets buried in concrete for the life of the home.
- 02
Pre-drywall
When
Framing is up, MEP is in, drywall is not yet hung.
Checks
Framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC routing, weatherproofing.
Why
Last clear look at the bones before they disappear behind drywall.
- 03
Final walkthrough
When
After builder QC, before your final walkthrough with the builder.
Checks
Full systems, finishes, grading, roof, attic, exterior.
Why
Goes into closing with a written list of what the builder still owes you.
- 04
11-month warranty
When
Around month 10 or 11 of the builder's one-year warranty.
Checks
Settling cracks, HVAC performance, roofing, plumbing, exterior, attic.
Why
Submit warranty items before the window closes for good.
Sewer line inspection
See what's under the slab before you sign.
Cast iron, root intrusion, bellies, breaks. Arizona homes hide it well. A camera scope of the mainline tells you what a visual inspection can't, before it becomes a five-figure repair.

Signature utility · 11-month warranty
We'll remind you before the builder's clock runs out.
Most builder warranties last one year. Drop your closing date and we'll send a heads-up around month 10 or 11 so you have time to inspect and submit warranty items.
