When purchasing real estate on halfvalue or anywhere, one must perform all due diligence prior to making an offer or buying.  Such investigative performance should most certainly include asking all pertinent questions and researching the property thoroughly.

  There are many research tools and data banks that one can use.  I personally like using USGS for purposes of studying the topography of the area and the property in question.  I also use Google Earth to study many other features about the area where the property is located. In addition, Copernic, a free multi-search engine, can help to provide information and answer many questions about an area as well.  Finally, a simple call to the Clerk's Office in the area where the property is located can help to provide additional information about the property.

  Researching the property before one buys is important.   Failure to do so can lead to problems.  The bottom line is, if one fails to do their home work, they should not whine later on and try to make excuses for their own mistakes and blame others.

 I  had an occasion to experience such whining on the part of a person who claimed to be a minister.  However, the tactics used by this person fall short of the behavior of any real minister I have known. The buyer failed to say in his review that he backed out of the agreement to purchase only to change his mind several days later.  In addition, the purchaser failed to say that he mailed to me an unsigned personal check for the initial deposit.  Moreover, the purchaser failed to say that he was informed about the right-of-way that cuts across a small corner of another's property.  No right of way went through the front yard of another's  property as the purchaser alleged in his Review/Guide!  The fact is that the purchaser has lied and has, with malice, attempted to smear my good name and reputation.  Furthermore, this practice by this person seems to be a pattern and checking his feedback will help shed light on this fact!  Moreover, I have not changed my ID since I became an Halfvalue user as has been the case with Olfartzpartz!

 I thought ministers were commissioned  to tell the truth and not try to lay blame on others! Unfortunately, this purchaser falls way short of the commission.  Perhaps I have failed to research the purchaser in this particular case prior to his purchase.  Next time,  I will perform all due diligence before I sell to an individual especially one who claims to be a minister of God!  Due diligence is important in all decision-making in life including  buying real estate or even becoming a minister!  Maybe that is why the minister is selling car parts instead of preaching the word of God!!  Did he fail to perform due diligence in deciding to become a minister?  In any event, Fred Bonnett will receive my prayers regardless of his lack of honesty in his dealings with me!
