Some Disagree on The Need to Inspect New Construction - 09/10/10 08:18 PM
My husband and I bought a new home 3 years ago and skipped the inspection because it was "new construction". Even those of us in the business can be duped. Never again! This article is great advice. No matter the age of the home, get an independent inspection!

We list and sell short sales in Minden, Gardnerville,Carson City, Dayton and beyond. We work our files ourselves. We know the effort it takes to get a short sale done. I have put a buyer in on a deal from time to time in a short sale. I know how it feels when the transaction drags out, and I know how frustrating … (2 comments)
