Him and I have seen a lot in the last 7 years! Whether you’re a buyer in the market, a seller, or just a homeowner, this will be fun and informative! Homeowners, Sellers, & AGENTS! Lars is the most thorough inspector I’ve come across and I love using him with buyers so they’re getting a deep look into their potentially new home. Alongside the attorney, I think the home inspector is one of the most valuable person in the process. Enjoy! 🎧

I am so excited to start this podcast, and I wanted to start off on a strong note! If you follow any of my social media pages, you know that I love to cook and I love food! I grew up watching my parents and grandparents cooking in the kitchen, and I was always mesmerized by their skills. In recent years, my love for food was amplified when I met my partner, who is a local chef and caterer. Needless to say, I’m always around food! Not great for my waist line. I wanted my first guest to be someone equally as passionate about food. Ithaca Food Dude has a large following in our area, and has been to probably more local restaurants than me! I’ve been a long time follower, and I appreciate that his underlying goal is to uplift local businesses and their owners. Of course, he has had negative experiences. I have disagreed with one or two of his reviews, but just like us, he is an average person going to restaurants! He just happens to post about them. I hope you enjoy this episode as we talk about some of our favorite local spots, restaurant, pet peeves, and more!
