Inspection Schmection....Right?!?

Inspection Schmection....Right?!?

This week's episode is sure to arouse interest in those looking to buy a house or those that are in the beginning of the process. When we talk about uying a home, both buyer and seller must be aware of the DUE DILIGENCE timeline. It's easy to think two things a) we have ALLLL the time in the world to get things checked out in the home...we will just let someone know when issues arise and b) "There's no way this house has any issues! I mean, just look at it!" Well folks, it no secret that in this case: You can't judge a book by its cover. Due diligence is the ever-important snippet of time you have during the buying process to do all the inspections, raise any issues you have noticed with the property itself. This is an informational time that is KEY for you as a home buyer. It keeps you informed, helps you keep your expectations and priorities straight, and you are able to go into the rest of the process of home buying with a clear conscience! Tune in to hear more!
