Violations and Buyers

Case One:

Heights home had languished on the market for months. Both the seller and the real estate agent had been successful in creating traffic, but the condition o the home kept coming back as the reason buyers rejected the home.

The home had over 55 POS violations, they included:

  • Cosmetic issues - like exterior painting
  • Carpentry issues - like fixing window sashes
  • Plumbing issues - like repairing a leaking pipe
  • Electrical issues - like encasing MN wiring in conduit in a garage

Finally, the owner relented to the realtor's advice that he needed to fix these violations and give the potential buyers the comfort of a "Violation Free" home purchase. HE began work and placed its "Violation Free" placards prominently within the home.

The home sold before the repairs were completed, but on the basis that the home would be sold violation free.

Case Two:

A buyer had found a home they really loved. However, the home had not been well cared for in the past and the buyer was uncertain of the costs to make the house their home. They were especially leery of certified home inspectors who could tell them what was wrong, but like consultants would do nothing to fix things or certify the validity of their costs guesses.

HE was invited in before an offer was made to assess the house and to estimate the costs of a buyer assuming the 133 POS violations

The buyer and HE created an agreement that gave the buyer the comfort to make an offer on the house and negotiated a deal. HE was engaged to fix violations before the move-in and did so in conjunction with a licensed electrician .

Eventually was engaged to convert the dated master bathroom into a glamour bath complete with a Kohl er spa.
