Friendly reminder from your realtor who has been doing this for 20 years and has seen some things… 🙃
Now that it’s cooled down a little, GO IN YOUR ATTIC.
Yes. Your attic.
Grab a flashlight, climb up there, and spend five minutes looking around while it’s not approximately the surface of the sun.
Look for:
💧 Water stains
🌀 Disconnected ductwork
🐿️ Uninvited roommates
🫠 Missing or displaced insulation
🚿 Bathroom vents blowing moist air into the attic
👀 Basically anything that makes you say, “Huh… that probably shouldn’t be like that.”
And here’s the thing about 20 years in real estate:
I’ve learned to notice things.
Not because I’m an inspector—I’m not. But after walking through a lot of houses, I know where problems tend to hide, what buyers are going to notice, and which “little thing” has the potential to become a very expensive conversation later.
That’s part of the value I bring when I list your home.
I’m not just thinking about what will look good in the MLS photos.
I’m thinking:
What is a buyer going to see?
What is an inspector going to find?
What can we fix now?
And what can we do to make sure we’re not finding out about it when we’re already under contract?
Because after 20 years, I’ve learned one very important thing:
The best time to discover your house has a problem is BEFORE the buyer does. 😂
Now go check your attic.
I’ll wait.
Actually… I’ll be downstairs. It’s October. I have boundaries. 😜
