Help! Considering buying this mid century modern home (1958)
Need ideas for how to modernize tastefully (without ruining the character) and also estimates of cost?
For the kitchen we would keep the flooring but replace the island, cabinets, and appliances.
I don’t have pictures of the bathrooms but they have original tile. Need some updating.
Need new carpeting and wallpaper removed/painting in some areas.
also needs deck replaced. Deck is currently stone and looks good to the naked eye but is leaking into garage ceiling which is underneath it.
We’d have about 100k to put into it immediately.
Get it inspected and NOT by one that is recommended by your realtor. If it passes inspection then I say go for it. You've got a canvas to play with there so you can take your time and modernize it how you want it.
Yes and no one's ever gone to jail for breaking any of the rules ever...... Only except for many times......
They could be friends or relatives. They could've worked out a system of kickbacks to ignore things in inspections for the sake of selling the house.
If you got in a wreck and the person that hit you said their buddies body shop can fix your car better. Would you trust it? No you wouldn't. The same goes for your Realtors inspector. You're spending hundreds of thousands of dollars. Don't take any chances.
A realtor works for a commission first. Everything else is secondary.
Word of mouth is honestly the best but I would just Google and read some reviews
Wait so first you say it doesn't happen and then I show you examples that it does happen and then you say yeah see they get in trouble. You need to pick a side.
Yes because every crime is caught. You're trying to say that everyone gets caught and that no one gets away with it. That's not how the world works. Stop trying to twist my words.

10 seconds of googling and I found two. I think you seriously need to reconsider what you describe as an incorrect belief. There are good Realtors out there I have no doubt but don't tell me that none of them are bad....
