“Lets Talk Real Estate!” HOME TOUR RED FLAGS” August 21st, 2024

Jarlynn Hyde“HOME TOUR RED FLAGS”

     When touring a potential home, virtually or in person, first-time home buyers can become overwhelmed as there can be a lot to take in.  However, what buyers should look out for are red flags that could be markers of significant issues.  For starters, inspect the flooring and check for sagging or dipping, especially near bathrooms.  Check the walls and ceilings.   While small cracks in drywall are not a worry, larger cracks may may indicate structural issues.  Also,  inspect the windows to ensure they are correctly installed and functioning.  Potential buyers should also look for signs of water damage and the smell of mold.  Lastly, it’s a good idea to ask when the roof was installed and to look at the warranty.  

     Preparation is key when putting your house on the market, from performing long-put off maintenance to updating antiquated interiors.  The more you’ll increase your chances of attracting serious buyers willing to pay top dollar.  Buyers also need to prepare when house-hunting to pin-point what their needs are and what they are looking for.  Preparation also includes choosing the real estate agent most qualified to represent you in your real estate transactions.  “OUR SUCCESS HAS BEEN BUILT ONE SATISFIED CUSTOMER AT A TIME.”
