Question 1

Are there any recent renovations or major repairs needed?

Accepted Answer

I pull permit history, inspection reports, and seller disclosures for every property we tour so you know what's been updated — and what still needs attention — before you make an offer.

Question 2

What's included in the sale (appliances, fixtures, furniture)?

Accepted Answer

Inclusions vary by listing. I'll clarify what's conveyed in writing and negotiate for items that matter to you, from appliances to custom fixtures.

Question 3

What are the property taxes and any additional fees (HOA, maintenance, etc.)?

Accepted Answer

We estimate your full monthly and closing costs up front, including taxes, HOA dues, insurance, and any special assessments, so there are no surprises at the table.

Question 4

How is the neighborhood in terms of safety, schools, and amenities?

Accepted Answer

I share local insights, school ratings, commute options, and amenity maps — plus connect you with trusted inspectors and lenders when you want deeper due diligence.

Question 5

What's the rental or resale potential of this property?

Accepted Answer

We review comparable rents and sales, cap rates where relevant, and market trends so you can judge investment potential alongside lifestyle fit.

Question 6

Has the home passed recent inspections, and are there any known issues?

Accepted Answer

You'll see inspection summaries before you commit. If issues appear, I help you negotiate credits, repairs, or walk away with confidence.

Question 7

Are there any upcoming developments that could affect property value?

Accepted Answer

I monitor zoning filings and major projects in each submarket and flag anything that could help or hurt long-term value.
