Let's face it--the phrase "We enjoy four full seasons" is often a euphemism for "Br-r-r-r! It is cold and snowy in the winter." We don't know about you, but we can live without that! If we want snow, we will travel to a snowboard and ski park! Here in the Jonesboro area we are blessed with a climate that is warm enough to enjoy the great outdoors almost year round. Although we do have a winter, it is relatively short and mild. Mostly our area is known for warmth and sun. Feel free to peek at our local forecast via the web site featured on this page.

Home Inspections >If It Is Broken Fix It
Most houses have a few "little" problems, like leaking faucets, a stove burner that won't light, or electrical outlets with too much "spark". These defects may not seem very important--unless your house is about to go on the market.
We rarely have difficulty getting sellers to agree to paint, replace worn carpets or plant a few flowers in the front yard. These kinds of repairs obviously increase the overall appeal of the property. However, if any of the major systems in your home need maintenance, it is also prudent to have the necessary repairs made. Have your furnace, central air-conditioning system, plumbing and wiring checked as part of your pre-marketing efforts. The best rule is--if it's broken, fix it!
The purchase agreement requires that a house be conveyed with all the systems in working order, and most buyers will bring in a home inspector to identify any potential problems. During the period of time between the "meeting of the minds" and the removal of the inspection contingencies, the buyers are the most vulnerable to an attack of buyer's remorse. This is also the time when anything that hasn't been repaired could become a major issue.
