NEIGHBORHOOD IMPORTANT FACTOR Before you buy a house take a close look at the neigh borhood. No matter how attractive the house may be, the neighborhood location is o f primary importance from an investment point of view. Look at the surrounding houses to see if they are well maintained. If there are large tracts o f vacant land nearby, ask your Realtor to check with the local plan ning commission to find out what their future use may be. If you’re buying a house in an attractive residential neighborhood, any com mercial development may have an impact on property values. If you have children of school age, your Realtor can also help you by providing information about the school system. Local Realtors are acutely aware o f all local conditions that will affect homeowners in the market area. This is just one of many professional services your Realtor can provide.
