Last week was a vivid reminder of the importance of finalizing your home insurance as soon as you are within 30 days of your closing date on a home purchase.

I had three clients with purchases closing on the Friday after the fire broke out in Peachland. All three had to push their closing dates back because they couldn’t get their insurance in place due to an active fire.

Thinking about this led me to consider a few of the key steps involved when purchasing a home.

I’ve written about this in prior columns but I feel a reminder........
