Quick move?

Tomorrow, soul_diaspora are going to look very seriously at a townhouse in Kanata, and we might even sign. It's about a mile and a half from where I work.

It's a bit... scary? exhilarating? Both?

Advice welcome!

Buying or renting? Scary/exhilarating sounds like buying. If that is the case, I was very pleased with both the lawyer and the inspector I found when I bought my house, and can offer recommendations. I was also quite pleased with my real estate agent, but you sound like you're probably past that phase.

I learned that despite how it feels, your head won't actually explode! ;-)

She used my lawyer. I wished I had her inspector when I bought.

Buying, yes. I'd especially like to get the home inspector's contact info!

Yeah, the head-explodey feeling is there, although talking to people about it and hearing from folks like you that it's manageable is helping!

If you want options, we were happy with ours, who works on both sides of the river: http://www.dagenaisinspections.com/

He walked us through everything, was quite down-to-earth, and gave us a big binder of pertinent information and notes when he was done. He gave us a bit of a heads-up on a few non-urgent things and the peace of mind was worth it.

Any chance I can get that home inspector's contact info? E-mail to mike dot myusername at gmail please!
