🏡Today's Random Real Estate 2️⃣cents Tuesday topic is about being proactive with water issues. A small water issue will turn into a big one 🌊 if left unfixed. 

💦Gutters are a major water deterrent system for your home. They are unassuming and go unnoticed most often. When left in disrepair you will be left paying for additional fixes that could have been avoided.

Gutter guards 🍃 are amazingly helpful! I suggest them as an added precaution to all my buyers. Depending on the type you buy, the guards can be easily click installed to existing gutters.

Cash in on my 2️⃣cents by being vigilant for home water problems. If there are water issues happening don’t wait to remediate, the cost to fix only goes 🆙

🏡Today's Random Real Estate 2️⃣cents Tuesday topic is about open houses. Why do Realtors do open houses and why you should spend your Sunday’s going to them. 

☀️Listing agents have open houses hoping to get a large number of potential buyers through the home at one time. 

☀️Buyers agent host open houses in hopes to find new clients and gain rapport. 

☀️An open house is a great non formal way to check out home inventory.

☀️If you are not ready to purchase, by this I mean you have not been pre-approved by a lender, an open house is how you should be viewing a home. 

☀️Registering or signing in is not a scary thing. Yes, you need to do it! If you do not want to be contacted in the future or you already have an agent write that on there. No big deal.
