Different kinds of defects carry different obligations, but a good sales rep and skilled home inspector can help keep you informed.

But elements such as foundations, wiring, plumbing, and heating and cooling systems are just as important, if not more so. We get a lot of questions about what sellers are…

Condensation on windows tends to increase during the winter. Find out the reasons why, and what you can do in your home.
