We are writing to thank you for your extraordinary work over the past five months in helping us sell our house for more than the asking price after only 4 days on the market, and purchase our new apartment for less than the asking price. Your knowledge and warmth drove entire process. But they were only part of the package. You were strategic and detail-oriented, and your strong sense of humor helped us get through the inevitable logistical stresses of this major life change. What's more, you travel in good company -- your referrals for stager, attorney, home inspector, and mover were all top-notch. We have been singing your praises to everyone we know in the Montclair area. We hope this letter will speak to everyone else who is considering a sale or purchase in our community. Thanks again from two very happy empty-nesters!
Jane & Steve T.

First Time Buyers >A Realistic Evaluation
Your real estate agent's job is to find you the perfect home, in the right location, with all the amenities you want--and at the right price. It is the home inspector's job to find any skeletons in the closet -- or in the plumbing, wiring, roof, basement and beams.
The inspector won't pass or fail a home based on what he or she finds, but will go over the house thoroughly to help you understand the condition of the property you are buying. If there are any serious problems, your inspector can give you a realistic idea of how much the repairs will cost. If there are material defects that were not reflected in the asking price, you will have the opportunity to re-open negotiations with your sellers before you commit to the purchase. A good inspector will also explain the operation of the basic emergency systems such as the main water cut off valve and the circuit breaker box, and will go over items that will need routine maintenance.
If you are buying a house, we recommend that you make a professional home inspector part of your home purchase team.
