It is hard to believe that a home did not suffer damage during the "small" earthquake many of us on the east coast experienced yesterday. I have seen several posts by agents and home inspectors urging people to inspect their homes.
Yesterday just before 2 pm I was wrapping up a business persons public and brokers open we hosted with four other agents in Old Forge Crossing a local condo development. As I was sitting down, the room changed shape, the building shook and three waves ran across the floor, of course I wished I had thought quicker and whipped out my trusty phone and filmed it, but alas no I have no juicy video to share. I went outside, never having experienced an earthquake before, although that was what I believed it was. Two other people were standing there and agreeing we had just experienced an earthquake.
I looked around the condo and saw no signs of any damage, and I am sure the development will do their own checks, but I agree, walk around your home, check any cracks you know of to see if they have widened, check any trees that are close to your home, maybe they need a little surgery, look around windows and doors to make sure they are seated correctly and if in doubt, call a home inspector to help you out.
