Catching Glitches in Time Saves Deals
Prelisting inspections — examinations paid for by the seller before a house is put on the market —are becoming an increasingly popular way for practitioners to not only reduce the possibility of last-minute surprises but also give their clients’ homes a marketing edge.
The last-minute discovery of a home defect can send you into crisis mode, requiring your seller to hire a contractor to correct the problem or slash the asking price. And if a buyer uncovers problems after the home is sold, they might even respond with a lawsuit.
On the other hand, if you work with buyers, it’s helpful very important for them to find out everything about house and to have a good professional to help them along the way.
Here is a nice and helpful web site that can answer most of your questions about home inspections as well as develop your ability to spot home defects in time can save you time, energy, and money down the line.
The Home Inspection Supersite - http://www.inspectamerica.com/index.html
The site’s “Get Advice” and “Browse Library” sections contain articles that teach users how to identify and fix common home defects, as well as addition information that explains the home inspection process.
The Home Inspection Supersite “Home Inspection Checklist” provides a thorough listing of potential defects, covering both home interiors and exteriors. It allows prospective buyers to grade individual home features from basements to roofs, as good, fair, or poor. As the site points out, this document isn’t a substitute for an inspection by a licensed, trained home inspector. But it can be a handy resource to help buyers keep track of specific home details that can become blurry for them after they’ve seen a few houses. The site also provides a state-by-state home inspector directory, but you can always relay on your Realtor to provide you with a directory of reliable local professionals.

Fortunately I will let you know where to look!
Pirates Gold - Pirates have often buried their treasures on the Island of North Carolina coast. As unstable as our coast is lots of these Islands have been washed away so next time you are enjoying beautiful North Carolina Beaches take a closer look at the shells that are being washed out you might be surprised.
Blackbeard’s loot - North Carolina oldest town Bath was the home base of Edward Teach better know as “Blackbeard” It’s been a local joke that every time you work in your yard neighbor will ask you have you found the treasure. It has been believed that he buried sizable treasure close to where Bath Creek empties in to Pamlico River and other then few rumors about brick vault on the beach that was found open and looked like a large wooden chest was dragged down the beach nothing was found yet.
Pots of Rebel Gold – Tales of confederate gold that has been buried along the rail road tracks between Greensboro and Burlington to keep it falling in to hands of union soldiers. Some claim that there is a proof for Capitan J.W. Duchasa and his man boarding the train in Mississippi with dozen of iron cooking pots full of gold from the confederate treasure.
