Having your real estate property inspected prior to the purchase is a critical step to ensure that you minimize risks of the unknown. Based on the type of property, age, property features and location will have a big factor in what types of inspections should be completed. Unfortunately, the article cannot cover every possible inspection scenario related to a real estate purchase so we will be focusing on re-sale single family residential purchases.

Broker Associate – Sales Manager – Prudential Gary Greene, REALTORS
There are so many factors that must be considered when purchasing a home. The real value of any property is not the house itself but the location and what the location has to offer. The school district and school attendance zones should be one of the primary consider actions of the buyer when making a home purchase decision. This is important for buyers that have family members that will be attending school and buyers that do not. The buyers that currently do not have family members attending need to consider the schools as it will have a big impact on resale.
Thanks to the effort of the folks at Capital Title, we are pleased to be able to share the 2010-2011 Houston Area School Accountability Ratings report.
