As real estate agents, we need to take care of our clients at all costs. I carry specific tools with me when heading to showings with buyers to help them with whatever they need, and today I’m sharing what those are. I’m also bringing on engineer Aaron Black to discuss what issues to look for in homes. As an agent, you need to know about home construction and where to look for possible problems to best serve both buyers and sellers.
