Thursday Home Buying Tip!

Here are a few potential red flags you'll want to keep an eye out for during your next tour:
⁣
Visible cracks in the foundation
Damp or musty smell⁣
Water stains on ceilings⁣
Sloping floors⁣
Doors that won’t close⁣
Evidence of active insect colonies⁣
Lots of homes for sale on the same street⁣
Standing water in the yard (front or back)⁣
Current owners haven’t lived there long⁣
⁣
Each of these by itself may not present a huge issue, but string a couple of them together, and you’ve got a good reason to press pause. ⁣
⁣
That’s why an experienced agent who knows what to look for is money when you’re house hunting. Looking for an agent like that? Send me a DM — I’d love to connect and help you find the right home for you!⁣

We want to give a warm welcome to one of our newest Realtors at South Haus Living, Megan Ferrari!

Megan joins the team preceded by a career in property management. Inspired by meeting new people and helping others find their perfect space, she attained her real estate license and joined South Haus Living in November.

Megan attended the University of Houston (Go Coogs!) where she graduated with honors while teaching private voice, piano, and early childhood music lessons. A classically trained singer, you can still find this international performer singing on stage at local venues whenever she has the opportunity.

Add to that an interest in interior design! Megan plans to bring her passion for interiors to her real estate practice. She is inspired by each new house she sees, taking every unique space into careful consideration in spatial planning and possibility.

In her free time, Megan can be found enjoying a latte at one of Houston’s many coffee shops, cuddling with her cats, or attending the latest performance at the Houston Grand Opera.

Tuesday Home Buying Tip!

You've picked a few homes you love and it's time to tour them in person. Exciting! While pictures online can give you an idea of the home, seeing it in person can make all the difference.

Here are a few potential red flags you'll want to keep an eye out for during your next tour:
⁣
Visible cracks in the foundation
Damp or musty smell⁣
Water stains on ceilings⁣
Sloping floors⁣

Evidence of active insect colonies⁣
Strong air fresheners + fresh paint (Hmm…)⁣
Lots of homes for sale on the same street⁣
Standing water in the yard (front or back)⁣
