BEFORE YOU BUY…

Home buying can be a roller coaster of emotions - am I right!? In between all of the anxiety, excitement, let down and jubilation, make sure you set yourself up for success. When representing our home buyers we like to dig a little deeper, literally.

It’s important to know and understand the age of the home you’re looking to buy. For example, homes in the Lake were built in the 1960s which usually means slab plumbing and cast iron sewer pipes. So we always recommend hiring a company to scope the pipes while in escrow. Yes it may cost a little more upfront BUT checking for blockages, leaks and misalignments prior to the close of escrow can give you a piece of mind, and often times an opportunity to engage in a request for repairs.

Working with an experienced, trusted real estate professional will help you navigate the complexities of your home buying experience and we’d love to help!
