What To Know About Home Inspections Before You Shop
Spring is just around the corner and once the weather gets nice a real estate shift typically happens fast. Buying a home is an emotional process and many experienced agents will tell you to make as many decisions upfront as possible. Make sure you have a plan and are not making judgment calls in the heat of the moment. I would argue selecting an experienced real estate agent who really cares for your best interest is the most important first step you can take. That being said I am a home inspector so for this article I am going to focus on understanding more about how inspections and your personal plan for the inspection process.
Expect Pressure
One thing that will happen for sure is there will be some level of pressure to sweeten your offer by going no inspection. Todayโsโฆ

ย WINES
Octopoda 2021 Sonoma County Chardonnay, Russian River Valley, California
Varietal: Chardonnay Alc.14.5%
Precision Wine Co. presents a distinguished and diverse collection of wines. Each wine is made with meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to quality; from harvesting the grapes in the vineyards to designing original packaging, every step of the winemaking process is handled with precision. The wines are made to showcase the complexity of flavor, diversity of terroir, and distinct characteristics of Californiaโs appellations and wine regions. Proprietor and vintner Trevor Sheehan started his journey to create a top wine collection when he became a winemaker 10 years ago. His first wines were eight barrels of Chardonnay from the Beckstoffer Vineyard and Cabernet Sauvignon from Howell Mountain. Octopoda Chardonnay offers notes of white flowers, grapefruit, baked apples, buttered popcorn and a beautiful, toasted oak finish.
Pairs well with creamy cow and sheep-milk cheese, pan-seared salmon, and roast chicken. $19 .99

Fontezoppa Asola 2017, Marche, Italy
Varietal: Maceratino Alc. 14%
Cantine Fontezoppa is a young company in central Italy on the Adriatic coast in the province of Macerata between Civitanova, Marche and very close to Civitanova Alta, an ancient 14th century village. The company, which takes its name from the ancient source of water that gushed out where the rows of vineyards now grow, was born thanks to the acquisition of the land in Civitanova Alta by the Luzi family in the late 1990s. Made from hand-picked Maceratino (or Ribona) grapes, this wine has an intense straw yellow color and a strong and complex nose, with aromas of ripe fruit, citrus peel, peach, yellow flowers, united by a deep mineral note and a touch of vanilla. It is balanced and consistent on the palate, with a pleasantly long and fresh finish.
Pairs well with anchovies and other fish, white meat, truffles. $31.99
Made from grapes grown on the north side of Mount Etna, the only active volcano in Europe, this rosso is perfect for the friend who insists on drinking red wine even though your menu really calls for white. The wineโs minerality, ripeness, and elegance, with hints of black currants, licorice, pepper, and wilted violet, itโs sure to please your contrary friend.
Pairs well with seafood and lobster. Serve it to the red wine lovers when everyone else is drinking white with their lobster! $25.99
Erik Banti has been producing wines in the Maremma Toscana region in the south-west of Tuscany for decades. In 1981 he produced his first vintage of Morellino. At the time, Morellino was a new and relatively unknown DOC. Today, the area is well known for producing full-flavored wine. The Spineto Morellino pours clear, bright, ruby red. The nose is lightly fruity, with hints of black cherries and violets. On the palate it is dry, tangy, and lightly tannic with good balance, body and lingering aromas, and a long finish.
Pairs well with fish baked or grilled, light pasta dishes, white and red meats and soft cheeses, such as Robiola, and fresh pecorino. $19.99
Chateau Gigognan 2016 Clos du Roi Chateauneuf du Pape, Rhone, France, Varietals: 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 5% Mourvรจdre Alc. 15%
In the heart of the Rhรดne Valley, close to the famous papal city of Avignon, Chรขteau Gigognan encompasses 110 hectares of vines in a landscape of rolling hills, parasol pines, and olive trees. Born of a winegrowing tradition dating back to Roman times, Chรขteau Gigognan is a long-established wine estate and part of the historical heritage of Provence. It produces red, white and rosรฉ wines in the appellations of Chรขteauneuf-du-Pape, Signargues, Cรดtes-du-Rhรดne Villages, and Cรดtes-du-Rhรดne. Vivid ruby, this Chateauneuf-du-Pape has aromas of highly perfumed red fruit complicated by suggestions of garrigue, licorice, and white pepper. Spicy and focused on the palate, it displays vibrant raspberry, bitter cherry and floral pastille flavors, along with a building smoky nuance. It finishes with resonating spiciness, a suggestion of Chambord, and youthfully chewy tannins.
Pairs well with barbecued beef ribs, duck, mushroom dishes, lamb chops. $49.99
And donโt forget to check out whatโs new in our beer case. We just got in a new shipment of Maine Beer, with the IPAโs โLunchโ and โLittle Whale Boatโ leading the charge. We have a rich brown ale called โBrown Dogโ and the wonderfully dark but slightly hoppy Robust Porter, both from Smuttynose.
