It’s always important to thoroughly examine a home. Of course, the inspector will let you know if there are any underlying issues with the property, but it doesn’t hurt to pay attention to the details during a showing.
Check out our short video to see what not to do when looking at a home. For starters, let’s take a look at the bathroom. Although bathrooms are a major selling point for buyers, it’s a little unconventional to actually use the restroom during a showing.
Secondly, home warranties also play an important role in homeownership.
Damage happens. But sometimes, we aren’t exactly sure how. Sometimes we come across a home that leaves us wondering: “What happened here?”
What do people do in their houses to cause such significant, and strange, damage?

Usually, damage to drywall isn’t quite this bad. It also isn’t typically caused by a bowling ball. But, regardless of how damage happens, it is always a possibility.
Damaged drywall or broken appliances can be a pain if you’re stuck without coverage. This is exactly why you should ask yourself, “Is a home warranty worth it?”
Personally, we think it probably is.
