Sometimes we tour a home, our client instantly falls in love…and we still advise them to stay away.
Buyer’s agents are trained to spot the subtle red flags others don’t, and these examples are just a few reasons why we might advise not buying a property:
🚩Stair-step cracks: When we notice hairline cracks in the walls, brickwork, or ceilings, we start hearing sirens.
🚩 Strategically placed paint, fragrance, or rugs: Painting the entire home is one thing…but one spot of paint, a dozen air fresheners, and even soft rugs can be used to cover up deeper issues.
🚩 Unapproved structures: When you buy a home with an unapproved plan, you’re on the hook for paying the retrospective approval, or demolition. They can also void your property insurance!
