Congratulations to clients A and D, excited to close on their new home.

In such a sitaution I counsel extra due diligence as many older buildings may have issues. These may range from structural ...

These variables and others will affect buyers' ...

Failure to do so by March 31, 2019 will automatically trigger a tax charge, which could amount to thousands of dollars added to your annual property tax b ...
