6 Repairs to Consider Making Before Listing your Home

If you are planning to list your home, you will want it to hit the market in the best shape possible. You want it to impress buyers as soon as they pull into the driveway. That said, you don't need to tear down the house and start over (unless you actually do.) 

Here are 6 repairs to focus on…

What to Check on Your Final Walk-Through


The final walk-through of your new home is an exciting event. It means you have successfully maneuvered through negotiations, inspections, and financing approval, and are on the verge of signing your closing papers.
