Why Licensed vs. Unlicensed Matters for Your BINSR Response

The Risk of Unlicensed BINSR Repairs

When a seller receives a BINSR requesting repairs, the first instinct is often to find the cheapest way to address the list. "My cousin can fix that," or hiring an unlicensed handyman from a local classified ad might seem like a smart financial move. But in a real estate transaction, it's a massive risk that can—and frequently does—derail escrows.

The "Deal-Killer" Scenario

Imagine this: the seller hires an unlicensed contractor to patch the roof and fix an electrical issue. Days before closing, the buyer requests proof of completion, including invoices from a licensed professional, which is standard language in the Arizona residential purchase contract. Because the seller used unlicensed labor, the buyer has grounds to delay the closing or back out entirely. All to save a few hundred dollars.

Why Buyers Demand Licensed Contractors

• Accountability: A licensed ROC (Registrar of Contractors) business is bonded and insured. If the work fails or causes damage, there is recourse.
• Code Compliance: Licensed professionals know local municipal codes, ensuring repairs are not just done, but done legally and safely.
• Lender Requirements: For certain types of loans (FHA, VA), appraisers may demand repairs be completed by certified professionals before the loan funds.
