There are two choices to choose from when deciding to have your home inspected prior to listing your house for sale.
1. FULL HOME INSPECTION - is a complete home inspection performed according to the State of Arizona Standards of Practice. This is a normal home inspection, however after the completion of the home inspection, we provide a 120-Day Limited Warranty. See details regarding the limited warranty below...

2. SELLER'S PREP OBSERVATION- is not a home inspection, it is a COMPREHENSIVE PROPERTY OBSERVATION performed by a certified home inspector, for the home seller to help ascertain the true condition of the property. This observation is essentially the same inspection that a buyer will request to have completed by a home inspection company prior to purchasing your home. The only difference is that with the SELLER'S PREP observation, your written observation reports only on items in need of repair or replacement. By knowing what repairs are needed prior to listing your home, you have the opportunity to remedy any issues or adjust your asking price prior to listing.
The SELLER'S PREP observation normally takes one to two hours to complete. After the observation, CPI will present, in our folder, a detailed report listing any deficiencies observed. You will also find a List of Licensed Contractors that may offer reduced rates, to our customers, participating in this observation. After repairs have been completed, you may include in your folder the written documentation of work completed along with any applicable warranty information for your own use or to present to potential buyers.
