Purchasing a home can be a rollercoaster of a ride at times. Experienced REALTORS® can help smooth out concerns. Check out my tips below, and if you’d like some insights on the market, feel free to call me at 503-701-1000.
Eerie Leaks! Leaks are as common as candy corn; a good inspector will find them.
Pesky Pests! Is there something hiding in the crawlspace or attic, waiting to scare you with an expensive fix? Inspectors review these areas.
Ancient Systems! Find out before you buy if that 1950’s maintenance sticker on the furnace relates to its advancing age, or the last time they serviced it! Repairs, replacement costs and home warranties can be discussed prior to or during negotiations.
Foul Foundation! If your inspector is spooked about the foundation, you can have experts investigate and provide estimates during the inspection period. Schedule ASAP, as typically you only have 10 business days to do this.
Funky Smells! Trust your nose! If something smells moldy, but you can’t see it because of fresh paint, it will eventually make its presence known. Investigating for mold, and other items such as underground storage tanks, sewer lines and radon can also be a part of your due diligence period and negotiations.
