What is a BINSR?

The Buyer’s Inspection Notice and Seller’s Response (BINSR) is a critical document in Arizona real estate transactions. It is the formal way a buyer requests repairs after their home inspection.

The Process

  1. Inspection Period: The buyer has 10 days (usually) to perform inspections.
  2. Buyer's Request: The buyer submits the BINSR, listing disapproved items they want repaired.
  3. Seller's Response: The seller has 5 days to agree, decline, or offer a different solution.
  4. Buyer's Election: The buyer can accept the seller's response or cancel the contract.

Why Professional Repairs Matter

Handyman specials often fail reinspection or cause delays. Using a licensed contractor like The Fixory ensures repairs are done to code, with receipts and warranties provided for escrow.

Common BINSR Repairs

  • Roof repairs (broken tiles, flashing)
  • HVAC servicing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Electrical safety updates (GFCI outlets)
