1st of many to come!

This is my first blog article. My goal is to share my experience with people looking for homes, agents, other inspectors, and anyone who may not understand the need for quality home inspections. The more knowledge people have on the subject, the better decisions they can make in the purchase of a new home.

Despite what anyone says, before you purchase a new home , whether it's a house, or a condo unit, you absolutely need to get a quality home inspection from someone you trust. So check out the State of Mass website to find a local inspector. Check your friends and relatives for the names of inspectors they have been happy with. Then interview a few before you jump on the first name of someone given to you by anyone you do not know well. It's the same process you use for a lawyer, doctor, or any professional that will have an impact on one of the major decisions in your life. At A1Southport, we like to say we work for you, and only you! Not the people that referred us, not the seller, just you the buyer. So stay tuned for the daily grit on my inspections and I hope they help in the decisions you make.
