I am in the process of working with a couple on the purchase of a home in Crooked Creek in Fuquay Varina.  My clients wrote an initial offer on a home in September but lost the house because they had to sell their home in Phoenix.  My clients closed on their home November 17th so they are now ready to move to North Carolina. 

When I showed my clients homes back in September we went into a house that seemed incredibly spooky.  We walked through the house and there were holes in the walls, stains on the carpet (blood perhaps?), and video cameras up in the bonus room.  This is where my story begins.

A murder perhaps? An argument gone wrong?  A child molester upstairs with hidden cameras?  As you are aware, we as Real Estate agents do not have to disclose information about people dying in the home. 

I can understand dying of natural causes, but murder should be disclosed.   On the other hand, if I am representing my clients, I feel I have a fiduciary duty to determine exactly what went on in this home before my clients purchase the property.   

The sight of the home was incredibly disturbing.  What happened in that house? What, as agents, can we do to determine what went on in that property? In this situation I did the following:

1.  I called the Fuquay Varina Police Department and ordered a report on the history of violence at the property. 

2.  I looked up the previous owners of the home on Wake County Government to see if they were still married, divorced, or deceased.

3.  I left my business card for the neighbor to the left and the neighbor to the right to see if they could tell me anything.  I received a callback from one of the neighbors.

4.  The Golf Shop was right around the corner so I decided to talk to the Golf Pros and see if they knew anything.   It turns out that one of the pros that works at the shop lives down the street.  I was able to have coffee with him and he gave me the "skinny" on the family that used to live their, the house, the cameras, etc. 

5.  I checked out the sex offenders website to make sure the owner wasn't listed there also.

So, I got to the bottom of what happened in the house before my clients made an offer on the property.  There was no murder in the home but there sure was a great story about what happened in the house.  My clients decided to make an offer on the home(it had been sitting empty for almost a year) and it was accepted today.  We still have to get through inspections(for our own benefit-the house is being sold as is) and the closing is scheduled  December 29th. 

So, how far should we go to protect our clients? 

Ok, so it wasn't actually a MURDER House.  We thought it was, but after doing a substantial amount of homework I realized that it was just a great investment opportunity.  Please see my previous post on "The Murder House" in November for more details on what the home previously looked like at the end of December.

In 45 days my clients completely rennovated the entire home.  The facelift the home received was substantial:

New carpet throughout

Revamping of the water heater

Fixtures stained to eliminate the brass look

Partially finished  

 basement

Electrical and heating reworked in the basement

Repainting throughout the home

Exterior power wash of entire home

Restaining of all decks

Sheetrock work done to damaged areas of the home

Interior lighting to brighten kitchen 

Per the Wake County Real Estate records my clients paid $262,000 for this home.  Most of the homes in this section of Crooked Creek sell in the $400k range.  My clients put quite a bit of money into the home but they still have been able to add, at a minimum, over $100k in equity in 45 days.  That's what I call a good ROI.  I will put the disclaimer on this real estate transformation:  "Results Not Typical, But Possible".
