Top 5 Things I Look For When Showing Homes

Top 5 Things I Always Look For (Even Before the Inspector Gets In):👇

1. Cracks in the Foundation or Walls

Little hairlines might be cosmetic, but big ones or stair-step cracks? It could mean shifting or water issues. 👀

2. Signs of Water Damage or Past Leaks

Stains on ceilings, bubbled paint, swollen baseboards, or a musty smell in the basement are all red flags that something has been wet.

3. Condition of Windows & Doors

Are they foggy between the panes? Hard to open or close? Could point to broken seals, poor insulation, or shifting frames.

4. Electrical Panel & Exposed Wiring

I always peek at the panel. A messy setup, old knob-and-tube wiring, or burnt-looking connections = 🚩

5. Roof & Eavestrough Health

A newer roof is a huge win. Missing shingles, sagging gutters, or plants growing where they shouldn’t be? Time to dig deeper.
