Buying a home can be one of the biggest purchase decisions an individual or couple will ever make. It is no wonder that when we start the journey of searching for our first—or next—home, we can get a little overwhelmed. Besides the things that are out of our control, like the housing market (supply and price), there are a few things you can do to make home shopping easier.

Many homeowners experience the reality of a growing to-do list without the time or resources to get everything done. As issues pop up, we are faced with deciding whether to act right away or add the project to a list of things to fix later.

Summer weather is here—and so are heat and high humidity. Not only does high humidity make hot temperatures feel even hotter and cause minor annoyances like frizzy hair, but it can also lead to respiratory problems or contribute to heat-related illnesses.

Across the country, we have friends and family members who are at risk of natural disasters. From hurricanes and tornadoes to wildfires, we want you and your families to be safe.

Spring is here, and many of us are itching to get our yards back in shape. If your to-do list includes planting trees or other landscaping projects that will require digging, it is important to have the utilities in your yard marked before your project starts.
