We sometimes talk about homes that have suffered from abuse from their owners.

A friend of mine ran across this example in a home he bought recently.

The furnace had been run for years without a filter.

You can imagine how this impacted the unit's efficiency for both heating and cooling.

This is something that I think any buyer agent should understand and be able to talk about. This isn't highly technical and it certainly isn't a buyer's agent's job to open up a furnace, but, a buyer agent should understand this.

Many real estate agents call themselves buyer's agents but don't know much about houses. This is unfortunate.

Our people understand homes and we are willing to tell you what we seel.

Remember if you want an unconflicted, true buyer agent to help you with your home buying, call us.
