Arizona Seller FAQs
Do I need an attorney to sell in Arizona?
Not generally. A title and escrow company handles the closing.
What is the SPDS?
The Seller Property Disclosure Statement is where you report what you know about the home’s condition. Complete, honest disclosure protects you.
What happens after the buyer inspects?
The buyer sends a BINSR listing requested repairs. You can agree, offer a credit or decline, and Lena helps you respond.
Does my HOA matter?
Yes. The HOA provides documents to the buyer and may charge transfer fees. Ordering them early avoids delays.
Do both spouses have to sign?
Arizona is a community property state, so it depends on how title is held. Your title company or attorney can confirm.
What buyers focus on in Arizona?
AC age, the roof, pool equipment and any wood-destroying insect issues.
Do I need an Affidavit of Disclosure?
Some parcels in unincorporated areas require one. Lena will let you know if yours does.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Details vary by property and contract.
