Thirty-year fixed-rate mortgages are still low enough for anyone who wants to purchase a home to be seriously considering doing so, and the Weekend Warriors, a group of certified, trained inspectors who work primarily after 5 p.m. weekdays and on weekends offering top-notch inspections, are ready to assist.

Whitehaven resident Gabriel Pryor, owner of Pryority Inspections, started the service to meet the needs of the growing number of workers who need the services after hours.

"We still offer the same professionalism and top-notch inspections Monday through Friday needed to help make the home-buying experience successful and enjoyable for all involved," said Pryor.

All services include free computer reports, consultations, attic and crawlspace inspections, and security systems from area security firms are available at reduced prices with the purchase of any inspected property closed.

"Pryority Inspections feels the need to inform home buyers and home owners of what is needed to successfully facilitate the home-buying process or to feel the fruits of reward from an existing home owned," said Pryor. "We are planning to hold a series of seminars and workshops on mold, lead, inspections and related subjects in the future and are currently setting up a full home expo that will include information for real estate, loan officers, appraisers, inspectors, bankers, buyers and the general public. We want to help prospective buyers to understand how to identify, purchase, secure and live well within the neighborhood of their choice and have speakers available to talk to neighborhood associations and other groups in all categories."
