If you practice law in New York, you better know finance. Texas, it’s oil law. Hollywood, the savvy lawyers get into entertainment law. If it’s Arizona you better know real estate. By hook or crook, it always shows up in Arizona. That’s because we are a fast growing State.

In my early years, I represented the Arizona Association of Realtors. One time I sat on a panel. The panel was asked to speak to homebuyers about the most important item of due diligence in buying a home. One lawyer said it was title insurance. One said it was the home inspection. A realtor said it was the school system. When it was my turn I was baffled a little because all of the good answers were taken.

Then I recalled how happy my childhood was. Besides my brother, sister, church & great parents it was the neighbors that helped make our house a home. So, I blurted out- ‘it is your neighbors…that is the most important factor in buying a home…crappy neighbors crappy home life.’

So, as simple as this sounds, before you make the greatest financial decision of your life in buying a home, speak to the neighbors. Before your money goes hard, make sure that you like the neighbors. It is that simple.
