Every home buyer knows hiring a home inspector to check out a property before closing is a good idea. In fact, a home inspection is often a requirement for a mortgage. The trickier question is this: Should home sellers also hire a home inspector to conduct a pre-inspection? That’s where you have an inspector scrutinize your property for problems before it’s even listed.
Is a pre-inspection worthwhile? Let’s take a look at the pros and cons.

Pro: A pre-inspection means fewer surprises
Regardless of who’s doing the hiring, a certified home inspector evaluates about 1,600 items that make up the property’s foundation, structure, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. The purpose is to uncover hidden and potentially expensive problems that could affect the value of the home.
For buyers, the results of a home inspection contingency in a sales contract can empower them to request repairs, reopen p ...

Jersey'sBest.com just released their list of "12 Must-Visit Ice Cream Institutions In NJ" and two local and longtime shops made the list!  Here is what they had to say:

A Shore Thing 
Ice cream Down the Shore has an especially Jersey feel to it. In some Shore towns, it may look and feel as if you should be walking around with a beer go-cup or koozie. Stone Harbor looks like a Shore town you ought to be walking around while eating an ice cream cone, and if you are doing just that, it is likely you stopped in at Springer’s. Open since the days of Prohibition, it is fortunate for generations of customers that eating its ice cream has never been legally prohibited. Springer’s has earned the description of a “beloved institution” not just because of longevity but because it has been a destination, even a daily pilgrimage site, during beach vacations. With over 50 flavors in the rotation, one can see why it gets daily visits.

If you’re following the news, all of the headlines about conditions in the current housing market may leave you with more questions than answers. Is the boom over? Is the market crashing or correcting? Here’s what you need to know.
The housing market is moderating compared to the last two years, but what everyone needs to remember is that the past two years were record-breaking in nearly every way.
