“October existing home sales spiked 10% making the highest rate of activity since February, 2007.  A significant portion of the transactions were by first time homebuyers, motivated by the tax credit,” stated Kylene Golubski, Vice President of Business Planning & Development for Inspect-It 1st Property Inspection.  “Buying a home is one of life’s most important decisions, but there’s no money back guarantee.  That’s why it’s critical to know as much as you can before committing to purchase, and this can be especially daunting for first-timers.  These franchisees really understand the special needs and concerns of first time buyers, focusing heavily on property education, safety measures and maintenance tips during his inspection.  This approval combined with our industry-leading inspection report, gives buyers confidence and peace of mind during the transaction process.”
