In our neck of the woods, septic systems are extremely common. And while septic systems are a reliable and safe means of disposing of waste, they aren’t infallible and they don’t last forever.
That’s just part of the reason why getting a septic system inspection before you buy a rural property is an absolute must!
As you can see in the video below, having a septic system replaced is a big, fat, messy undertaking.Read more
Even though I’ve lived in the country most of my life, I’ve been fortunate that I’ve never encountered a bat in my house.
I realize that bats are helpful – they eat mosquitos, among other things – but if you’re like me, you just can’t get past how super creepy they look!
I usually hear a bat story or two from friends or clients each year, but this year I’ve heard WAY more stories about people seeing bats, finding dead bats in their yards, and worse – finding live bats flapping around inside their homes.

As a homebuyer in Fremont County, there is much to be accomplished before you can become the new owner of a property in Riverton or Lander. For instance, sprucing up your finances, creating a homebuyer wish list for available properties, touring homes and applying for a mortgage all need to happen before you are handed the keys. Each step is just as important as the next, including open houses and home tours. As you set off for open houses in Riverton and Lander this summer, be sure to keep the following in mind:
