Primary homes and second homes
The Home Buyer Brief
For the house you are about to live in.
A field guide of questions to ask the seller, the listing agent, and anyone who has actually kept this house alive. Built from years of taking over properties and discovering what nobody mentioned.
You are buying a house — not a spreadsheet. You still need the same operational honesty a property manager would demand, because you are the one who will be standing in the crawlspace in February.
