First Time Buyers
My wife and I just settled on our new house. We used Geoff Rowe as our buyer's agent, and we could not be happier with the service and the treatment that we received. Geoff listened to what we really wanted, and where we wanted to live. He concentrated on that area and the type of houses we liked. The market was a bit crazy, and he was always prepared to do anything and everything to get the right contract prepared in a timely manner, whether it involved late night faxes, writing contracts in his car, or a late evening trip to Starbucks to hammer out details. He was always ready! Geoff has been in the industry for years, knows the area, the market, the laws, and the ins and outs of Northern Virginia real estate. When it came to referrals for services (mortgage brokers, home inspection, and title company), Geoff's referrals were always top notch. They made the process even easier. We would not have survived this real estate market without him.

Home Inspections >The Good Inspector
Structural inspection contingencies are a common feature of home purchase offers. A buyer is allowed a certain period of time to have an expert look over the home, examining the structure, plumbing, wiring, roof, and appliances to give the buyer a realistic idea of what they are getting into.
How do you find the right inspector? Look for an expert on pre-purchase home inspections, not simply a renovation contractor or a friend who can tell copper from galvanized pipes. There are specialists in most cities, or you can obtain a list from a real estate agent. Ask for recommendations from friends who have recently purchased homes. Most inspectors have some background in building or engineering, and have had additional training related specifically to residences. Call several companies, and ask about the background and training of the staff, as well as their rates.
