We will take photos from the doorway areas, and make use of the windows and the natural light in the rooms. It is always best to clear the clutter out of every room. A quick wipe down to “clean” and if you have any pets, it is best to have them out of the way during the photo shoot

Once a showing has been requested, you as our clients will receive a call/text from showingTime to confirm the time will work for you.

The Lead-Based Paint
Loan Objection Deadline
Loan Objection Deadline
In 1996, the Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Regulation was enacted. It requires owners of pre-1978 "target housing" to disclose to potential buyers or renters all known information about the presence of lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards in the property. It requires that the potential buyer or tenant be given the lead information pamphlet, "Protect Your Family From Lead In Your Home," or other EPA-approved pamphlet as well as a specific disclosure statement. The option of whether to test for the presence of lead-based paint is left to the owner, so long as a decision not to test is disclosed.
