haymarket homes for sale: From Our House To Yours Happy Thanksgiving
- 11/28/13 12:34 AM
One of my fondest memories as a child was the Thanksgiving Holiday. My mother loved to cook and cook she did in preparing food for not just our family, but for relatives and people who had no where to go for the holiday. We always had someone into our home who was in need and my parents wanted to help. I remember counting as many as 40 guests.
This year is no exception when it comes to me appreciating this wonderful day. We have so much to be grateful for as I'm sure, you do to.
From our house to yours HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

haymarket homes for sale: Are Home Inspections Necessary When Purchasing A BRAND NEW House?
- 10/22/13 07:40 AM
I've always told my buyers, whether they are purchasing a re-sale property or a brand new home, you REALLY DO NEED A HOME INSPECTION. It's just something I firmly believe in.
Most often buyers purchasing a re-sale property simply agree and once "Under Contract", the Inspection is ordered. On the other hand, I've had several buyers purchasing a BRAND NEW HOME from a Builder actually question the need for such an Inspection. Their reasoning is simple to understand: "But it is a brand new home with a warranty... Are Home Inspections Really Necessary When Purchasing A New House?"
A TRUE STORY:
