SHOWING SCHOOL SATURDAY 🏡
Showings aren’t inspections — knowing the split matters:
✅ Showing = big red flags, layout, location fit
🔍 Inspection = systems, structure, moisture, electrical details
Pro move: If you’re really interested, schedule a 2nd showing and consider bringing an inspector/contractor before submitting an offer.
