May 5th, 2017 Thank you for your interest in this Faira Certified home. We have coordinated the efforts of certified and licensed inspection and title professionals to create the Faira Transparency Reports for this home. The Faira Transparency Reports are a detailed portfolio of information that is prepared on behalf of buyers in preparation for making an informed offer on the property.
You may view more detailed information for this home and can make an offer at
http://www.faira.com/listings/11081 All of the information in the Faira Transparency Reports was gathered and compiled without any bias or influence from the seller(s). In fact, these reports are materially identical had you as the buyer(s) ordered the same professionals to perform the evaluations on the same date. Nevertheless, Faira takes no obligation of the reports being complete or accurate. The buyers are recommended to conduct their own due-diligence to their satisfaction. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like more information. We’re happy you’ve chosen a Faira Certified home and look forward to the opportunity of working with you! The Faira Team
