OR MANY, BUYING A HOME IS A DREAM COME TRUE, ESPECIALLY IF THAT HOME IS SURROUNDED BY THE SNOW-CAPPED LA SAL MOUNTAINS AND THE RED ROCK RIMS ABOVE MOAB VALLEY. HOWEVER, HOMES REQUIRE REGULAR MAINTENANCE TO CONTINUE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY, MAINTAIN THEIR RESALE VALUE, PROTECT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THEIR RESIDENTS, AND TO PREVENT EXTREME REPAIR COSTS DOWN THE ROAD.

LOCAL REALTORS AND HOME INSPECTORS SHARE THEIR ADVICE ON TAKING CARE OF MOAB HOMES.
