- 01/14/24 11:54 AM
With all the fees and expenses involved in purchasing a home, it may be tempting to skip the home inspection to avoid spending the money. But in the long run, it may cost you more to skip it. Home inspections sometimes reveal things that ultimately could have cost you way more than the fee involved.
While you might believe that sellers are being honest about the condition of the home, it’s important not to take their word for it. Truthfully, they probably are being honest. But they don’t necessarily see what could be “wrong” with the house any more than you do. … (6 comments)

real estate: Buying a Home During the Holiday Season
- 11/02/23 11:58 AM
Buying a home in the midst of the holiday season might sound like a crazy idea, but the truth is this time of year can be a great time to buy!
