Dog Room
Some people look for homes that will provide a special, designated space for their pets. If your dog cannot be loose i…

If you are considering purchasing a home, it is important to know what the process will be like. There are two services that have to be performed around your house before the closing date... a Real Estate Appraisal and a Home Inspection.

Areas that they focus on include the roof, foundation, crawlspace, plumbing, drainage, electrical, HVAC, patios, decks, appliances, floors, ceilings, walls, code compliance, and more.
