Q. What do I do with a defective house?
The age of your house usually determines what remedies the homeowner has. If you purchased an older house then the issue of non-disclosure or a “cover up” may be an issue.
If You bought a new house then defective construction may be the issue. The purchase agreement and the related documents need to be closely reviewed.
Q. What is the Home Inspectors Role?
Home Inspectors are not insurers. They do Not always look for defective construction.
Can I do it “On the Cheap”?
The adage “Cheap Whiskey is never a bargain” applies in the purchase of a house.
Getting the cheapest home inspector normally will result in a cheap inspection. A glorified “walk through” pointing out a hole in the fence or a missing Escutcheon will not tell you about the basic condition of the house.

- Your Closing Documents including the realtor agreement and the home inspection report
- Photographs and video of the Problems.
- Efforts to fix the Problem
Q. What are best practices around Social Media and my case?
You should never post anything on social media if you are in a lawsuit or thinking about a lawsuit.
As an example. posting that you are visiting your family implies that you are physically able to travel and get around though you now have to use crutches which is painful. Also, you cannot ride for more than a hour a day but that limitation was not posted.
If You are in a lawsuit, do not delete any social media.
Q. What are best practices around photography and my case?

Q. What are best practices regarding Documents and my case?
