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.

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.
