Ask the right source

A licensed real estate professional can help organize questions, but different facts require different sources. Use the relevant county or government office for current rules and records; qualified surveyors, engineers, inspectors, well or septic specialists for site conditions; utilities for service availability; title professionals for recorded interests; and insurers and lenders for their requirements.
