If you are considering purchasing a home in Arizona, your agent should provide you with the Buyer Advisory, a document which is nine pages and provides information about items a person should know prior to purchasing a home.
The document, written by the Arizona Association of Realtors, is designed to allow the consumer to check issues he/she should consider when purchasing a home. It contains links to many websites which can answer consumer questions.
Information concerning neighborhoods is not static, changing frequently, and the Buyer Advisory is revised periodically. The websites referenced in the Advisory also change their information frequently.
Crime statistics are important and the Advisory references the various sites in Arizona cities where these statistics can be obtained. An agent cannot know all of these facts and the knowlegable consumer will reference the Buyer Advisory to find answers to his/her questions.
The Buyer Advisory is also a document which a homeowner can use to ascertain answers to questions he/she may have regarding where to go for tax information, zoning information, information about area schools, and the ever famous sex offender information.
If you are considering purchasing property outside of Arizona, the Buyer Advisory is an excellent guideline to questions you may have and potential places to obtain the answers in that state.
Take advantage of this resource, it is part of a buyer's due diligence when purchasing a property. A link to the Arizona Buyer Advisory is provided below, you may be surprised at the amount of information it contains. Use this information for your advantage. A knowlegable buyer is a good buyer.
