A $1.45 million house in San Francisco saw significant changes in just one year due to unexpected issues. When the owners applied to remove some rotting panels and doors, they discovered severe foundation problems. As repairs progressed, more issues were uncovered, ultimately leading to the decision to demolish the entire structure. This situation severely impacted their finances.
When buying a home, it’s crucial to not only examine the structure but also assess the overall condition of the property. To visually evaluate a home's condition, refer to the checklists in images three and four.
However, for a thorough understanding, obtaining and analyzing the home inspection report is essential. A professional real estate agent’s role includes interpreting these reports to help clients avoid costly surprises and ensure that their investment provides a safe and reliable living space.
