One of my buyers was looking at a house and the mother in law also came over to check out the house. But as she was walking up the sidewalk to the house, there were walnuts everywhere and she stepped on one, lost her balance, and broke her ankle.
Now, the sale still went through, but it almost didn't. You see, because the mother-in-law had to file a claim against the insurance agency to get the medical bills paid, the CLUE report that came back for the buyers said that the home was considered a risk because of other past claims the house had during its 25 years of life.
Now, the mother didn't sue or even ask the insurance company for pain and suffering, she just wanted the bills paid. But, 2 minutes of sweeping up those walnuts could have saved a lot of people time, money, and pain.
So, please clean up your walkways or it could be a lot worse.
