Thanks to all of the JABBERS who shared road trip advice for our travels to the West Coast! We are planning to stop in Marfa, an artsy community in western Texas that I keep coming across.

The Importance of the Home Inspection

From Ashley Cusack:  REPLY 

It's Real Estate 101 - the first thing you do when you go under contract on a home is schedule your inspections. This is an important part of the home buying process because it's when you "get to know" your house. Home inspectors do a thorough check of safety and functionality issues relating to the property (i.e. roof, structural, mechanical, electrical, etc). Today, inspectors are almost always licensed contractors and incredibly thorough. They help guide buyers to really understand if issues need to be looked into more deeply or not. Mold inspections are also very common. There's a little mold in every house so it's hard to conclude when something is serious or not, but mold inspectors help decipher. The other common inspection is to ensure the septic system is working properly - very important! With 20 years under my belt, I've seen the good, bad and ugly. If you need recommendations for the best inspectors, call me at 305.960.5330! EWM Realtors.*

Striving to Make Your Kids Happier
From Rina Jakubowicz:  REPLY
School has begun, but you might notice your little ones are already feeling the stress of homework, tests, and even making new friends. I understand the daily burdens kids face, so I created an innovative yoga program for kids and teens, where they will use the practices of yoga to strengthen their minds and bodies. The program will allow your child to de-stress, while also challenging them physically and mentally, although classes are fun and exciting so kids learn without even realizing it. Your child will be more focused, confident, and less irritable after just one class. For more information reply above or visit my website HERE.*
