Being a home owner during a storm can be a little frightening. Not only do you worry about the safety of your loved ones, but also about the safety and security of your home. As many of my past and present clients in the DC Metropolitan Area found out this week, storm damage can bring up a variety of issues that you may not have thought about when you were buying your home.

Can agents tell potential buyers if someone died in the home? Is it a required disclosure? How does a death in the home impact it’s value?

There is something all buyers should think about before embarking on a search for their next home. Unfortunately, the media is not helping them out one bit.

The other day I received a flyer in the mail from the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service. It said I Should Probably Check My Smoke Alarm. The word “Probably” was crossed through with a red line. It really caught my attention.

Each year buyers and sellers want to know if we’ve hit the spring market yet. This year, the answer is pretty clear.
