This week we had a tragedy in our family; our dog fell off of our truck and died. We took her to Healthy Petz in Spring Hill because it was near the accident. Dr. Zavaro did everything he could to help. Everyone there was understanding and very helpful. I feel like we were being taken care of and our dog was their top priority. Even though Leia, my dog, did not make it, I am happy I took her there. Below is their website. I highly recommend this Vet!

I wanted to get the message out to everyone about the new elementary school opening in August 2010 in Spring Hill. The school is Allendale Elementary and now has it's own website; http://www.wcs.edu/ades/

Last night, my son and I went on their website to vote on the new mascot and colors. We are very excited about this new school because it is in walking distance from our house. Riley, my son, cannot wait to ride his bike every day to and from school.

I am confident that these new schools will be just as great as the rest of Williamson County's fine learning establishments.

Kings Creek in Spring Hill. Located just south of Saturn pkwy, along Kedron rd, Kings Creek is a hidden gem for golfers.

The 18 hole Arnold Palmer designed golf course is a perfect setting for Spring Hill real estate. With townhouses and homes available at affordable prices, this is an unusual opportunity.

The average size of the townhouses range from 1300 square ft to 2100 square ft and in price up to $165,000. The average size of kings creek homes range from 2000 to 300 square ft, and in price up to $400,000 depending on location and size.

I know sales and qualified buyers are difficult to come by at this time of year, but apparently so are good homes! Over the past few weeks I have had the pleasure of inspecting some of the worst homes that I have seen in my 15+ years of inspecting! REO homes are starting to get tiresome!

It seems like folks are trying to find the "bargain" and never mind the condition of the home they are looking at! Today I had a home that the power company refused to turn the power on and the buyer got mad at me because his agent said I could take care of it! Then the buyers agent (her second sale since getting her license) started to tell me that I needed to carry a generator around with me just for homes like this! After I composed myself, I politely asked her why she thought that I should be responsible for turning the power on? Her response was that it was my job to do a complete inspection. Again, after a moment of composure I simply told her that the power company Red Flagged the meter and refused to turn the power on due to the dangerous conditions in the home. I then told both of them that, to get the power turned on now, the city will need to approve the repair work that is done by a licensed electrician.

It was at this time that I told the buyer that I could not do the inspection due to the lack of power & water in the home. It was also about 30F inside the dang home! Once again the buyer and the agent did not understand why! I did not even ask for a fee! I did make the suggestion that on the next home, make sure that the water and power is on or can be turned on before they call the home inspector.

By the time I got back to my office the agent had already fired off an email saying that she will never use me again! My heart is broken!

So don't forget to be nice to your home inspector! We find and have to put up with stuff like this!
