By Deana Norton


All of us dream to have our very own home. There are really times where we get tired in paying rental fees where we can already use those moneys in building one for our own. We have the capability to save that money and just buy an already used home. Even though it is not the one we are dreaming of, at least we got to live in a place we could call ours.

This is the place where you could spend a great and valuable time with your family. And having it checked thoroughly will make sure you are living in a safe and in a good condition house.

How long has he been in the industry. Has he experienced inspecting several houses just like the one you are ready to buy. And a lot more questions.
