Lock and Key Safety Imagine closing on your new home and you’re given only one key, frustrated now that you need to get copies quickly made. Even if you were given a dozen keys, you still need to have all the locks, including storage sheds, gates, and mail boxes, changed immediately. You have no idea how many spare keys are floating around.

Still loving that last home you previewed? What about the neighborhood? When in the home-buying process, you have to consider the neighborhood as much as the home. After narrowing your choice down to two or three houses with offer time just around the corner, you need to drive through the neighborhoods several times. What are conditions like in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, including Friday and Saturday nights? One home I had listed was very different depending on when I was in the neighborhood. During the week when everyone was at school, I rarely saw anyone around. On the weekends, however, the neighborhood ... Read Full Story
