An Arizona home inspector has gone viral for his videos. Now a home builder is trying to stop him from posting them.


Cy Porter of CyFy Home Inspections says he posts the videos to educate home buyers. Taylor Morrison wants him to stop posting about them.

PHOENIX — A Valley home inspector has gained popularity for posting videos of his inspections on social media. He specializes in new home construction and his videos have led to hundreds of thousands of followers. 

Those same videos have also led to a complaint filed against him by a large home construction company.

Complaint: “Stop posting any videos to social media about Taylor Morrison.”

Cy Porter of CyFy Home Inspections began posting videos of his home inspections on social media years ago. He shares footage from his inspections of new builds in Arizona.

“My number one focus is I want everyone to understand new builds need inspections just as much as any other home,” Porter said. “They don’t just need inspection. They need someone to find all the issues that violate Arizona state standards or that go against the [Registrar of Contractors], which is the builders’ governing board.”
