Who pays for the home inspection is a common question—and the answer depends on the situation!

Typically, the buyer covers the cost of the inspection, but in certain cases, it can become a negotiation point, with the seller agreeing to pay. Some sellers also opt to get their own inspections done before listing, helping them address issues up front. Even still, buyers often prefer hiring their own inspector for peace of mind.

The truth about luxury? It isn't defined by a price tag. ✨

Today's luxury buyers are looking beyond the obvious. They're looking for homes that offer something meaningful, distinctive, and difficult to replicate—whether that's waterfront access, exceptional architecture, privacy, thoughtful design, or a lifestyle that simply can't be duplicated.

Luxury isn't about having the most. It's about having what matters most.

And that's where the right representation makes all the difference. 🏡🌊
