Over the next few days, we will post a few tips that will make you think twice about a “Proper Home Inspection”. Many homeowners search for homes that are within their budget.

“The old-school method of detecting foundation problems still works: Drop a marble on the floor and see how far (and how fast) it rolls.

Cracks in the foundation can be no big deal or a very big deal.” Be sure to hire an experienced appraiser to inspect your home carefully. Tomorrow we will talk about the importance of drywall.
