Look Out For These High Value Areas
Structure

Look for wide cracks in brick, the foundation, and interior cracks above doors and windows.

Roofing & Exterior
General Condition
Keep an eye out for missing/old shingles, brittle or damaged edges, gaps, and other areas water/pests can get in.
Grading & Drainage
Low spots, damp areas, and stains are signs that water is pooling near your home’s foundation.
Plumbing
Water Pressure & Drainage
Run faucets and flush toilets—low pressure or slow drains may signal plumbing issues.
Water Stains & Leaks

Electrical
Electrical Panel
Check for updated equipment and breakers. Keep an eye out for colorful, older equipment that may need replaced.

Interior
Flooring
