How are the schools in the neighborhood?
If you have or plan to have children, this is an important question, have your agent check the school statistics and rankings. Asking the seller will usually provide you a candid response and “tips” of what to look for in choosing a school and or teacher. Nothing adds more value to a neighborhood than fine public school ratings and nothing can hurt an area more than poor public schools performances. Sending your children to private schools is expensive, so be sure to check out the public schools during the contingency period.
