Home Shopping?
Make a list of your priorities before you begin to
shop around. What size, price and type of home do I want? Where do I want
the home to be located? What features are absolutely necessary? Will I
consider extra features that would be nice to have, but not essential?
Then contact us and we'll help you find what you're looking for.

Is there anything I can do better to maintain my home?
Inspection reports often identify the same neglected
maintenance items. Performing some basic maintenance can help keep you
home in better condition, thus reduce the chance of those conditions showing
up on the inspection report. Most of these items can be accomplished with
little or no cost, while the benefits of selling a well maintained home can
be worth the effort and increase your return on investment.
-
Clean both rain gutters and any roof debris and trim
back excessive foliage from the exterior siding.
-
Divert all water away from the house.
-
Clean or replace all furnace filters. Remove
grade or mulch from contact with siding (preferable 6-8 inches of
clearance).
-
Paint all weathered exterior wood and caulk around
trim, windows, doors, and all exterior wall penetrations.
-
Make sure all windows and doors are in proper
operating condition: replace cracked windowpanes.
-
Replace burned out light bulbs.
-
Make sure all of the plumbing fixtures are in spotless
condition (toilets, tubs, showers, sinks) and in proper wrking order
(repair leaks).
-
Replace burned out light bulbs.
-
Provide clear access to crawl spaces. heating/cooling
systems, water heater(s), electrical main and distributions panels.
-
And finally, if the house is vacant make sure that all
utilities are turned on. Should the water, gas or electric be off
at the time of inspection the inspector will not turn them on. Therefore, the inspection process will be incomplete,
which may possibly affect the time frame in removing sales contract
contingencies.
