haymarket mls: Doing What Is Right When It Comes To Gutters
- 06/05/12 05:41 AM
As a Realtor, I've often watched Home Buyers encounter various issues during their Home Inspection. Most often problems center around plumbing and/or electrical, but nonetheless other issues (a real variety) do surface. On occassion, I've also observed problems with Gutters. Sometimes gutters leak causing some damage to the house. Still other times they just don't fit right and there are moments when the Inspector will suggest they need to be replaced.I couldn't help but notice this interesting article that was in my email earlier this morning: 4 Rules About Gutter ReplacementI hope you will take a moment and read this informative post … (6 comments)

- 05/31/12 04:00 AM
Buyers often ask questions! How old is this house? Do you know why the owners are selling? How soon are the sellers willing to close? Their questions sometimes seem unending.
