  Pest Control Section
Pest Control Company Section
Homeowners are usually reluctant to admit to potential buyers that their homes have been damaged by termites. For some people, the mere mention of the words "termite damage" conjures up images of tiny insects with very big teeth dining on weight-bearing wood beams until a home collapses in a heap of sawdust. Thankfully, this is not usually the case.

Title and Escrow Section
Title & Escrow Company Section Title insurance is more than a product, it is a process. When a homebuyer and a home seller come to terms, the process opens with the preparation of a contract and closes with the issuance of a title policy. Title insurance is one of the key elements in this process. A prefatory step is the creation of the contract between the parties. This contract, called closing or escrow instructions in most areas, is usually prepared by a title company. It binds the parties and sets in motion the steps leading to the closing.

Local Real Estate Lenders
Real Estate Lenders If you talk to a loan officer, he (or she) will probably say the lender they work for is "the best" and give you a list of reasons why. If you meet the same loan officer years later and he works for a different kind of lender, he will give you a list of reasons why that type of lender is better. Realtors have differing opinions and, as a group, their opinions have changed over time. In the past, most would often recommend portfolio lenders - because they almost always closed the deal. As time passed, mortgage bankers and mortgage brokers became more important, and agents switched along with the changing times.

Alarm Systems
Installing a home security system is one of the most effective burglar deterrents available. Many burglars are opportunity offenders, which means they are not going to go out of their way if you have taken steps to make breaking into your home difficult for them. Most likely, a burglar won't find your home an "easy target" if you have a home security system. Also, you can save anywhere from 5% to 20% off your home owners insurance if you have a home alarm security system.

Heating and Air Conditioning Inspection
A furnace inspection and tune-up should only be performed by a trained technician. An inspection looks for safety issues as well as efficiency problems. On the typical forced air furnace used in this area, important things to check for include: cracks in the heat exchanger letting carbon monoxide into a home, blocked registers, blocked air returns, burner was cleaned within the last year (oil burners) or three years (gas burners). The furnace's efficiency should be measured both before and after the tune-up, to give a measure of the system's initial performance and to check that the tune-up measures produced the expected improvements.
