Inside the Beltline

Homes inside the Beltline are those skirting the inside of the I-440 and I-40 forming an imaginary "belt line" around the City of Raleigh. It is made up of diverse neighborhoods, with real estate prices varying from luxury homes in the millions to condo's and town homes at a more affordable price.

There are numerous parks, greenways and country clubs with hiking and walking trails within the Raleigh Beltline, which is a huge attraction for the locals, who value the convenience of Raleigh and the business districts and yet have the feeling of open space on their doorstep.

There are wonderful restaurants and shopping inside the beltline. Business is also relocating into the beltline area - creating a great appeal for folks to move back into the inner city too.

Why You Should Get a Home Inspection


Why You Should Get a Home Inspection
For most people, buying real estate is the largest investment they will ever make. But even if you buy “a bargain” it is good practice to get a home inspection done before you finalize the purchase agreement.  
Any good real estate agent giving their clients advice on how to buy a home will explain the home inspection contingency. By adding this contingency to your purchase agreement, if the home inspection reveals defects in the property, you will be able to cancel your offer without any penalties, within a specified timeframe.
What is a Home Inspection?
A good home inspection will cover all types of defects, big and small, as well as any safety issues – a broken stringer or tread on steps for example. It will also recommend where elements or items need to be serviced, repaired or replaced. In addition it will highlight any issues that are acceptable but need to be monitored for future repair or replacement. 
While a home inspection may not identify everything wrong with a house, it will usually identify key problems that most people buying real estate for the first time often won’t notice. Often a home inspector will identify a potential problem and then suggest that the buyer calls in a specialist before concluding the purchase agreement. For instance there may appear to be a plumbing or electrical problem, in which case a qualified professional needs to verify the problems and say what it’s going to cost to rectify. 
Home inspectors do not check for specialized problems like termite damage, mold, or site contamination.  
The Value of Home Inspections
When you’re buying real estate, you may need to take risks, but with a report from a good home inspector, you have several options. If the problems are major and costly, you can cancel the purchase agreement – providing of course you have a home inspection contingency clause. Alternatively you can go back to the seller and, with the help of your real estate agent, renegotiate the price or remedy the repairs. You can tell the seller you won’t buy unless he or she fixes the major problems. 
Your third option is to accept the problems and fix them yourself once you take ownership of the property. 
Thinking of Buying or Selling? I have the expertise and the contacts to assist you with all aspects of sale and purchase. I like to ensure my buyers | sellers are well looked after and I have years and years of experience to assist you professionally.
