Open House coming up on Saturday, January 30, 2010

Rainier View from Roof Top Deck of Legendary Homes

We were holding open house a week or so ago, and the sky was just right to take these photos of Mt. Rainier from the roof top deck. The mountain can be seen from at least three levels of the home. Hm, I’ll have to check out the lower level when we are there on Saturday.

Come visit!  They are stellar homes, and the views are fabulous!

Feel free to call with questions

Buying New Construction? Pay attention to this!

In recent months a few of our clients who purchased new construction within the last year have been reporting trouble with their builder/seller that issued a warranty in the contract, but is not honoring it.   Whether it’s the sub-contractors that don’t respond or the now bankrupted builder, the buyers are having a tough time getting someone to respond and correct warranty items.  Anyone who is purchasing new construction then, would do well to close the transaction AFTER all the punch list items are complete, even if it means a longer close, and not rely on the warranty to cover after-close issues.   It might be well to purchase a 1 year home warranty available for about $300-400 from an independent warranty company.

We will be advising all of our new construction clients of this and require, in the contract, all punch list issues to be handled before the closing papers are signed.
