An appraisal is not the recommended solution to this issue as what you really want to pay is no more than another buyer might be willing to pay. An Appraisal won't tell you that. The best way is to have an open offer with an escalation clause, as th…

Haybaler, Most contracts between a home buyer and a home inspector limit the inspectors obligation with regard to identifying water intrusion issues. Consequently the inspectors E & O generally would not cover a water intrusion issue. Davi…

Why, David? I think most any attorney who might represent this issue would agree with me on that. Why do you think it is inappropriate? Do you think preserving the "internet" is more important than preserving this home buyer's rights? That's a pr…

You are very welcome. As I mentioned to Craig, my biggest concern for you is that you have publicly made this statement: "Our inspector saw 2 of the leaks and said that they appeared to be fixed since there is stuff smeared on it." To me that rea…

1) Get bids and solutions from basement water proofing companies. Bodine Construction is top of the line. Allied is usually a bid in the mix and Perma Dry is used often in the area. Those three should give you the range of solutions, some of which a…

I recently had a similar call, and in his case I recommended he use Craig and Marc at WA Law because he was buying a new construction unit in downtown Seattle and had already determined the price he wanted to pay and the unit he wanted to buy. Not m…

Looks like a pre-foreclosure pic where the agent is afraid the owner will come out with a shotgun. It's like a car repo...the owners can get pretty nasty. Guys who do REOs in some areas never get out of the car. Not saying this is one of those as…

Thank you barista. I wrote a follow up post for you on Rain City Guide breaking down the red zone into Shadow Inventory vs. SOLD since the FAIL date. It has a full picture of Redmond 98052 showing where the Fails are, and also breaks out the full d…

Alan, Don't ever buy on or siding to a busy road like 148th. It's a heartbreaker if you try to sell on a busy road in a bad market. You want to slash your wrists.

PB #1 You did good. It's not a bugalow. It maintained the bungalow frontage. Behind the "bungalow" is a three story addition making the total about 3,300 sf of living space plus the oversized attached garage. They'll be pictures of it soon en…

Mike, All of it. But my point is that some here stack the deck against loss in real estate as much as the Realtors stack it to the opposite extreme. Most times SB and Realtors are polarized opposites and equally incorrect. If you're going to…

I'm thinking about a lot of things. What I said was "I'm keeping my eye out for a fixer as close to Microsoft as possible. That would be my next two year choice from a financial standpoint. From a lifestyle standpoint, it would be a similar home …

I wasn't registered to see and respond to your forums, but someone sent me the link to the discussion about me and my house, so I decided to dip my toe in. The conversation is going very well from what I can see. There was another error regarding…

"wait - she doesn't think that 3% buyers agent fee is worth it? Happy to be paid it, just not to pay it when it's her turn. seems a bit, um, hypocritical" I don't charge 3% on a million dollar puchase or sale transaction. I don't charge 3% on mo…
