staten island real estate: Should I bring my home inspector back for the final walk through? - 04/01/14 05:44 AM

A final walk through is an often over looked and sometimes mistreated part of the home buying process.  Many buyers simply take a 20 minute walk through of the house right before the closing.  This is a mistake.
A final walk through serves many purposes.
- Make sure all agreed upon repairs are completed.
- All appliances and warrantied items are operating properly.
- Confirm that the home is in the same condition as it was when the contract was executed.
 
 
That being said, a final walk through is not an inspection.  You've already done that.  So there's … (0 comments)

staten island real estate: How do you like them apples? - 09/26/13 09:10 AM

I'm a pretty even keeled guy.  The Marine Corp taught me discipline....balance.  Today, being a father of two boys ages 10 and 14, I can honestly say that it takes a lot to get me angry.  I'm usually unaffected by ignorance.
