Bill Gassett's insight:
Most people have had public water as drinking and cooking source in their homes. Far less people have ever had a well for their home.
When buying a home with well water it is vital to understand the difference between these two water sources.
Purchasing a home with a well has different concerns than a public water source. You should have both the well quality and quantity checked when buying a home with a well.
Not having enough water obviously should be a major concern but so should the potential health hazards that can be found in well water.
Both of these issues are discussed in-depth, including what is considered a passing test and what is not.
In the latest article at Maximum Real Estate Exposure, you will see comprehensive tips for buying a house that is serviced via well water.
By reading the article you will get a complete understanding of everything that should be of concern when purchasing with an underground water source.
These tips could save you a tremendous amount of money, time and aggravation. Don't underestimate the importance of checking the well. Many buyers skip this vital part of a home inspection.
If you enjoy the tips for buying a home with a well water source, please consider sharing the article socially.
Another great article by Bill Gassett. While the post was about 10 tips for buying a home with well water, was helpful, I noticed a different benefit.
It reminded me of the importance of using an agent. And not just any agent. This post really underscores the need to use a LOCAL agent. Use someone that "knows the territory" & all the idiosyncrasies and special concerns of certain areas.
Few REALTORS ever deal with issues having to do with water, and wells and water rights.
Water is delivered and piped to most houses from the nearby city or municipality.
Bills article suggests to me that anyone looking to buy a property that is not served by local systems hire an agent that does 15 or 20 deals a year that require at least basic knowledge of water and natural gas requirements.
Simply put, don't seek advise about buying in a rural neighborhood from an agent that specializes in downtown high rise condominiums.
Likewise the downtown high rise probably has a set of CC&Rs that would baffle anyone in a Brokerage that primarily lists rural real estate.
So..............thanks Bill for reminding me to think local, and as they say in the NFL "don't over kick my coverage".
