What is an Easement?

Do you know what an easement is? Have you heard of an easement?

An easement it is a legal instrument that grants property access to people or organizations who otherwise hold no ownership interest in your home.

Think utility companies running water and electricity to your house. Or another common one is a shared driveway with your neighbor over your lot.

Now buyers, this is one of the reasons we get a survey on a house we are buying. Best to know if there are any easements ahead of time.
