The Do’s And Don’ts Of Buying A Home

Buying a house is one of the biggest expenses an individual can make. If a mistake is made the consequences can be devastating. At Denman & Lerner Co., L.P.A., we have seen clients purchase homes they thought were perfect only to find out there were major undisclosed defects that required tens of thousands of dollars in repairs they could not afford.

This overview page is to help you avoid this happening to you. Sellers are often desperate to sell their homes. Everyone knows the real estate market has taken a major hit over the past few years. Sellers have seen their homes decrease in value and are afraid that by disclosing problems with their home they will not be able to sell it at all.

The threat of taking a loss on their biggest investment can turn an otherwise honest person into a liar, or cause them to have a selective memory. By following these tips you can help avoid the possibility of this happening to you.
