One of our clients just found themselves in a tough spot. They had just accepted a very nice offer for their home, but the ensuing inspection revealed a significant defect. The buyers still wanted to proceed with their purchase, but they wanted the sellers to repair the defect prior to closing, and the closing was only 3 weeks away. 

So Mad City Dream Homes hit the phones and was able to schedule quick estimates from two different companies. Company A's quote came in at a hefty $11,000.  While Company B's quote came in at a much more palatable $2,600. Even better, Company B (a reputable one) was able to complete their work in time for the scheduled closing. 

This is a great example of why it pays to do your due diligence and seek multiple opinions whenever you face an important decision. Whether you are seeking advice from contractors to address a significant repair, or interviewing realtors to help you sell your home and buy a new one, it pays to do your homework.
