Something creepy happened in the condo next to mine. I don't want to get into the details here, but it was enough to make me want to move. Do I need to tell the agent about this? Or do I need to tell the people moving in about it, or is that not my problem?

Should I get more than one home inspection?

I put an offer on a home that's about 40 years old. I know there are things that need to be replaced and want to go into the deal with as much knowledge as possible. I get that humans make mistakes or don't see things. So, I'm wondering if I should get 2 home inspections and see what they both say. Could I use both reports to negotiate?

How do I pick the best offer for selling my house?

I have three offers on the table. One is all cash but lower; one is over asking but has a financing contingency; and one has a massive down payment. How do I know which one is actually the safest bet to get to closing? My realtor says all cash is always the way to go because we know they have the money now but I feel like I want to get more and go with the over asking.
