Should I have a Pre-Home Inspection?

We suggest to all sellers to have a pre-home inspection to avoid any costly surprises. The inspection report is an excellent marketing tool that provides buyer confidence in purchasing a home.

Black Friday "Sales" on Real Estate!


This week is all about spending time with family, counting your blessings, and eating a great meal. However, as the clock strikes twelve on Thursday night it is every man for himself! I'm inspired by the excitement also, but just wanted to take a quick moment to give you another option. I love a bargain and the hunt...so if you are ready to buy a new home, give me a call. I promise you will not have to wake up early, stay up late or wait inline, most likely you want have to pay full price, you can ask for the seller to help pay for closing cost and interest rates currently Rock! 


Oh, and Sellers don't feel like I'm leaving you out. Why wait until spring to sell your home? Buyers looking at homes this time of year are serious Buyers.  Let's discuss how to get your home "market ready" so you can start your New Year in the home of your dreams.


Let me know if you want to experience Black Friday "Sales" on Real Estate. We will be opened for business!

Are you hungry on Thanksgiving?


Thanksgiving-a wonderful time for family, friends, food, fun and fellowship, but unfortunately that is not true for everyone.  There are many who live right here in our own town that struggle daily to put ONE meal on the table.   During this Thanksgiving, please take time to pause and remember them or preferably go out and serve them. The Durham Rescue Mission offers a Thanksgiving meal to hundreds of people to enjoy on Thanksgiving Day.  You can do so much to help this cause by giving your monetary donation or volunteering to serve (volunteers are always welcomed). I can assure you those you do serve will be thankful and you will receive an unforgettable blessing yourself.

Thanks as always,
Kay

Should I have a Home Inspection on New Construction?

This is a common question because Buyers are typically trying to purchase on a budget. They get excited about buying a new home and get caught up in the details. When Buyers hear about all the Builder's warranties, they wonder if a third part inspection is really needed.


As a Realtor, I highly recommend to inspect any home before you purchase.  Brent Willett is one of the Home Inspectors that we recommend. Listen to his point of view and then decide for yourself.
