What if the Perfect Home is Full of Hidden Problems?

July 19, 2024

Imagine you found a home that felt tailor-made for you.

But even with all its charm, the home inspection turned up some issues–nothing like foundation cracks or a leaky roof, but still issues that needed attention.

You felt uneasy about it until your real estate agent assured you that this is not out of the ordinary. In fact, in 86% of cases, home inspectors find issues that need attention.

It’s all part of the buying process — and exactly why a thorough home inspection is essential. After all, it’s better to find issues now (and know if they’re major) than after you’ve signed on the dotted line.

After inspection it’s not uncommon to renegotiate with the seller. Most of the time we are able to come to a compromise. And even if we aren’t, buyers still have the option to pull their offer.

Situations like this highlight the importance of having a trusted and experienced agent by your side.

Who needs a five year plan when you could have a home like this? 👇 I can’t get enough of this single family home in the desirable Bethany neighborhood in Portland. Think natural light, quality craftsmanship, open layout, dream kitchen and backyard views on the deck. Every detail makes it the kind of space that just feels right. If this one’s calling your name, comment or DM me.

I’ve talked clients out of buying or selling before…and I’d do it again. Because a home should move you toward your goals, not away from them. Before making a move, let’s look at the big picture: your priorities, the market, and what truly makes sense long-term.

When people move to Lake Oswego, they often think it’s all about the beautiful homes, top schools, and proximity to Portland. But what makes people stay? Morning walks by the lake.
Cafe’s where they know your name.
A downtown that still feels small-town.
Easy access to trails, parks, and water.
Neighbors who look out for each other.
Weekends that unfold without a plan.
That perfect balance of calm and convenience.
A community that feels connected, grounded, and proud to call this place home. If you’re thinking about calling Lake Oswego home, this is what it’s really like to live here... not just visit. Comment “GUIDE” below and I’ll send you my Lake Oswego City Guide with all my local favorites ↓ 👋 I’m Heather @robbinsrealtygroup — your Lake Oswego real estate agent sharing what makes this city one of the best places to live in Oregon.
