The VERY last step when a house listing sells in the East Bay is to remove the Supra lockbox 🥳
Convincing aspiring home buyers NOT to buy a house or to understand what it will take to fix up a house is JOB #1 as a buyer's agent. Showing houses after a torrential rain is a joy.

How is the property draining?
Is any water getting into the foundation or the house?
Where is the water coming from - the roof or the earth or both?

What isn't job #1? Getting you to buy any old house.
