The land is under all. That is a basic concept in Real Estate. I was reminded of this when I recently took some classes to further my education. One of the things we must do as professionals is commit ourselves to always further our education. And to take what we glean and use it to better serve our clients.
This phrase has been going around and around in my head as of late, especially when it comes to building a home in Pullman Washington or really anywhere for that matter. The soil is the basis for that home. It is the foundation for that foundation on which the home is erected.
Many folks overlook an important aspect in determining a lot. They will look at the location. True...very important. And the price...also important. Although when compared to the structure it contains, maybe not so much. I personally think location is very important. And the lay of the dirt determines the house that will serve that piece of land to the highest and best purpose. You can't just sit any old plan on any old lot. Such careless planning will haunt you one day.
True these are all important aspects in determining a lot...but one is often overlooked! What is that you might ask? A soil test. Why a soil test? Well in a basic soil test they will determine the stability of the soil. And believe me, you want stability in a lot. I would liken a soil test to a inspection of completed structure. Buyer beware! Get that soil tested and make it a contingency of your offer....after all the land is under all...including your new Pullman dream home...that little piece of the American Dream in Washington!
