In this inaugural episode of The Arizona Report™ podcast, I interview Dr. Dan Haydon. Dan has been performing home inspections in the Phoenix Valley since 1995.

Because there are deadlines in the Arizona purchase contract that must be adhered to by the parties, the buyer should be ready to schedule his home inspection almost immediately upon offer acceptance. Follow the discussion in our podcast episode for recommendations to have your home inspection experience go as smoothly as possible.

Dr. Dan Haydon has a Ph.D. in structural engineering and has worked in an electrical and engineering capacity with the U.S. Air Force in numerous countries around the world. He is a consultant to the Arizona Board of Technical Registration which oversees home inspector licensing and has served as an expert legal witness. Dan is a Phoenix native and a resident of Glendale. He can be reached at 602-561-7272 or www.southwesternbuildingconsultants.com.
