I've become friendly with a woman at school pick-up. They've been searching for a home in the area for a while now. They are not my clients, nor do I intend to solicit the business. We do talk about the inventory in general and some houses, but that's all. Two weeks ago she was all excited, they're having the engineering done on a house they wish to buy. I ran into her yesterday and she told me the deal fell through. The engineering uncovered structural problems and they could not come to agreement. This is the second home this has happened to with them.
Perhaps there is a common denominator here (it's them), but these are also old homes so it could just be they want a safe and structurally sound property. My point is not to question them, I wonder how many sellers do a pre-sale inspection/emgineering?
Maybe if homeowners knew what was coming down the pike, the could be prepared.
Any thoughts???
