4th of July is tomorrow as we all celebrate Americas birthday! Fireworks are a big part of 4th of July so here are some safety tips if you are planning on lighting off any fireworks. Never give fireworks to small children, never throw or point fireworks at other people, always follow the directions on the packaging, make sure spectators keep a good distance from the fireworks, and when lighting the fuse, quickly step away from the firework.

What is a home inspection? A home inspection is something that protects your financial interest in what will likely be the largest purchase you make in your life—one in which you need as much information as possible. For example, learning that a home needs repairs costing $20,000 or more could change your mind about wanting to buy it, or the amount you’re willing to spend.

Many young homebuyers grew up with the aspirational idea that their first property would be a starter home.

Typically a small two-bedroom, one-bath single-family house, starter homes were a tried and true way for buyers to gain a foothold on the real estate ladder, which they would climb to ever larger and more expensive homes.

While the promise of a sweet starter home on a cul-de-sac may linger as an initial dream home, today’s real estate market paints a much different reality.
