How to Avoid a Money Pit: Be on the lookout for these
6 Warning Signs That Could Mean Expensive Repairs

Many people think that serious defects in a home are easy to spot, but the truth is, often the most serious and costly problems can only be detected upon very close inspection. When you are considering buying a home, look for the following six telltale signs of serious problems

Electrical Systems

Before you agree to buy you should make sure that you can run all of the appliances you want to and
even power tools at the same time without having a power failure. You also want to make sure that the
electrical system is safe and does not present a fire hazard.

Cracks and other important signs

Cracks in walls, doors not closing properly and uneven floors can all be signs that there is a problem with the foundation. If the foundation is not strong, the entire house could literally collapse, so you should carefully check for these signs. A bad foundation may not mean imminent disaster .

Roof

Leaks are the most common problem with roofs, and are tough to detect from outside. However, from inside an attic, you can often see water marks where there is a leak.

Plumbing System

Make sure you are confident that both water systems: the one that brings fresh water in and the one that takes sewage out are functioning well before signing on the dotted line.

Bad Paint and Signs of Rotting

The paint inside and outside the house can reveal a lot about the condition of the underlying material. Check several places on several walls, using your eyes and a screwdriver for poking.

Heating and Cooling Systems

Be sure to thoroughly inspect the heating and air conditioning system in any home that you are considering or planning to buy. It is very important to have a good heating and air conditioning system.

My husband and I had a dream of downsizing from our house in Ontario into a small condo closer to where we work and play in Portland. Estro Groups and his skilled team helped make that dream a reality. The sale went smoothly, and we just closed on an ideal new place we're excited to call home.

I recently sold a house with Estro Groups and while this can be a very stressful process, I felt 110% confident by partnering with Estro Groups. He was candid, provided great feedback, helped explain clearly all details, and managed the actual sale negotiation brilliantly. In addition, he was highly responsive to every one of my questions, no matter how small.
