While an Agent may be able to help a client with many topics of interest, providing the ability to dig deeper to the Buyer is often appreciated.
So I posted these links to give visitors a handy location to access a broad variety of information.

Home built in 1979.

In the structural real estate realm, that means:

Copper water lines, not the celcon-fitting class-action polybutylene that came along a couple of years later.

Solid hardboard siding, not evil class-action hardboard.

Copper wiring, not the aluminum branch circuits from the mid-’70′s.

No lead-based paint disclosure or tangible concerns, as in 1978 homes and earlier.

And this home was very affordable!

All in all, pretty cool, we thought!
