If a home has issues, it’s no secret that the seller will attempt to hide (or at least minimize) them. However, even though it’s a seller’s market, that doesn’t mean that you as a buyer has to turn a blind eye to flaws. While you can’t afford to be TOO picky, it’s important to keep a sharp eye out if the seller seems to be hiding things. Read this article by Dave Hanson at the Dave Hanson Home Team Blog for things to ask about with EVERY home you look at:
-Pests
-Mold
-Leaks
-Bad foundation
-Disclosure statements
Dave recommends that you ask specific questions over email (so you have a written record), and to get a home inspection before closing!
