Dawna is a real pro! I am so glad she was on our team. For nearly four years she guided us through the volatility of the San Luis Obispo housing market, answering our questions from a far (we live in Montana) and flagging appropriate properties or developments along the way. When the timing was right and we found just what we were looking for, Dawna expertly guided us through the negotiations and inspections. This wasn't our first home buying experience, but we really appreciated how easy Dawna and her assistant made the whole process. We successfully closed in less than 30 days.
- See the opportunity- Be observant of condition, wet weather is a great time to check for leaks, roof and other areas rain impacts.
- Leave the rain at the door- To be respectful and keep other peoples’ carpets and floors clean, wear slip-on shoes to remove at door and/or wear plastic shoe covers to go over your shoes.
- Observe where water flows- Roofs are not the only areas that are impacted by water. Watch for the ground-level water drainage situation on the property, and observe adjacent properties including their elevation relative to the property you are viewing.
- Take advantage of market conditions with bad weather- If more difficult or inconvenient to view, there may be fewer visitors. This might mean less competition with other buyers.
- Be considerate of sellers- Rain is an inconvenience for many, especially for sellers with pets and families. Allow for extra time during showings and display extra kindness.
