Inspections and Service Disclosure
It is recommended that all prospective purchasers obtain the services of professionals or licensed contractors to perform applicable inspections in connection with purchasing a home. It is important that you be aware of and consider certain conditions or issues that may or may not affect the property you wish to purchase, before writing an offer. It has been our experience that although the existence of one or more of these conditions or issues is not necessarily negative, buyers want to be informed of their potential existence so they
can give these issues further consideration or choose to have further investigations or inspections. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Questions and Answers on Fair Housing
The purpose of the fair housing laws is to protect a person's right to own, sell, purchase, or rent housing of his or her choice without fear of unlawful discrimination. The fair housing laws are intended to allow everyone equal access to housing. State and Federal fair housing laws prohibit discrimination in the housing market on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, handicap, or familial status. To discriminate against a person on the basis of his or her membership in one of these protected categories is against the law. This information focuses primarily on the fair housing laws as they are applied in the State of North Carolina.
