Disclaimer: Always consult licensed professionals

Posted on July 27th, 2007 at 8:56 pm by Sweth

Buying, selling, and owning real estate requires expertise in many different areas, and it is essential that you always consult with licensed professionals in each specific field that you are dealing with.

Even though the staff at Ethical Homes are conversant with many of the topics that affect real estate, their specialty is in real estate agency (the negotiation and purchase/sale of real estate) and mortgage brokerage; for questions about topics outside of those areas, you should always talk to a licensed professional who specializes in dealing with your specific concern. In particular, Ethical Homes does not specialize in any of the following topics:

  • Law (including, but not limited to, contract law and real estate law)
  • Tax Accounting
  • Financial Planning
  • Insurance
  • Home Inspections
  • Environmental Inspections (including, but not limited to, radon and mold inspections)
  • Appraisal
  • Property Surveying
  • Title/Deed Research
  • Architecture
  • Engineering, Construction, Repair, and Remodeling

If you have concerns about any of these topics, please make sure to talk to an outside expert. Additionally, in most jurisdictions where Ethical Homes operates, we are not allowed by law to act as both a mortgage broker and a real estate agent on the same transaction, so if we are acting in one of those two capacities for you, you would need to address specific concerns about the other specialty with the person who is officially acting in that other capacity.

If you need a recommendation for a trusted professional in one of these areas, contact us and we would be glad to help you find one.
