a little more than a month later.
Less than six months later, the horror story began to unfold. Jenna was cleaning one of the bathrooms when she noticed tiny little ants with wings. Following Ron’s directive, she called an exterminator. When he arrived, he delivered the first blow — these winged ants were termites. The exterminator went under the house to assess the damage. He found that not only was the floor under the bathroom completely infested, but also the other two bathrooms, and the infestation was spreading to more of the house. The grand total to repair this problem came to over $12,000! That’s an unbelievable amount of money to unexpectedly invest in a house you’ve only lived in for less than six months.
How was that even possible?
The key lesson here is to really know the house that you’re buying. You should always hire a home inspector who can usually uncover these issues and may recommend additional inspections if needed. If you’re going to make such a huge investment in a new home, the small price of precaution is worth it.

TRANSITE!
Recently I was showing a home in Schaumburg. It was a beautifully maintained ranch home. I had shown many homes to my clients but they fell in love with this home. We submitted an offer and got it accepted.
