Recently we had several inches of snow in Anacortes that surprised us this close to Spring.  What I love about our area is that snow doesn't last long...just long enough to enjoy it and then it goes away quickly.  We get four seasons and the weather is not severe.  Perfect! 03/03/2011

Final Walkthrough I love educating my clients and oftened surprised at how little they understand the buying process. I oftened get the "deer in the headlights" look when I talk about the next steps. Its understandable that they are being bombarded by loan, insurance, taxes, appraisel and inspections challenges but when your spending several hundred thousand dollars, you better be on your game.  Over the past 6 months I had several clients call with post sale issues most of these could have been handled better by  myself, the realtor or buyers.  Let me elaborate: Client #1 - Sellers disclose 2nd floor tiled deck is leaking into home around doors. Seller agrees to have leaks fixed. Inspection verifies leaks. Inspection report calls for licensed contractor to evaluated and repair all leak... 02/07/2010

I spoke to a caller who was asking about special assessments and how legal they were especially for someone who had owned thier unit for less than a year. This caller didn't even know that a special assessment is a demand for money that is in addition to the regular annual or monthly dues or maintenance fees. I explained that special assessments can be levied against owners for various reasons. Many times the reasons don’t make sense to the owners. Owners may refuse to pay them, especially if they didn’t know about them in advance, but there are consequences to not paying. Owners sometimes think they had “a fast one” pulled on them. Unfortunately this particuliar owner did not do diligence before buying. In most cases these assessments do not come out of the blue. They occur for number ... 01/26/2010

I think that my ever growing photo collection of deer that I have seen while inspecting has to be up there in the realm of among the best. It is now large and ongoing. When I inspect near Lake Whatcom or Lake Samish and, most specifically, at Sudden Valley, I run into deer by the dozen. Yesterday I was down in Anacortes, a great city here in the northwest, and sure enough, here come the deer. I think this is mom and a youngster or an adolescent. Thanks for stopping by, Steven L.

I saw a great article on BankRate about the 5 biggest mistakes in Home Inspections Here are some highlights with my own insight: #1 Not having New Construction Inspected. Amen to that. I have a whole section on my website called the Hall of Shame that shows prospective clients what we find. I am sure with the slowing of new construction things will improve but builders are also being pushed to the brink so quality can still be an issue.   #2 Choosing an inspector for the wrong reasons. The first question a phone inquirer makes is How Much and we expect that but we get some who are calling us because they don't want to use the inspector the Realtor recommended.  This is usually because a friend or Consumer Experts say don't use the Realtor recommendation. This is so wrong on many levels... 12/16/2009

This past weekend, for the umpteenth time, my wife and I attended the Anacortes Arts and Crafts Festival. This big-time festival, an amazing business enterprise in the small but very charming waterfront city, has been going on for 48 year now. I have not attended each year, but I have visited the festival for at least 35 years. The photos below show some of the color of the street festival.    While we were there, the grandson got a spider on his face. No worries, it is not real and it rubs right off.   This year's festival is over, as of last Sunday. But, if the good lord proves willing and the creek don't rise, I will be back again next year.   Steven L. Smith Bellingham WA Home Inspections 08/13/2009
