About Lynnwood's Logan Park

My most recent sale in Lynnwood WA was a cute house with lots of wonderful upgrades. It had been remodeled extensively, but we still had a few things come up during inspection. There are a lot of things that the buyers may not have necessarily asked for from the seller, but I wanted to on their behalf and luckily they were open to my ideas.

1. Smoke Detectors were not working. The seller had already certified on the Snohomish county only NWMLS addendum 22Z that the smoke detectors were operational so it was a no brainer to just ask them to do what they had already promised to do. It wouldn't have cost them very much and again it wasn't asking them to do anything more than what they were legally required to do in Snohomish County anyway. The key issue for me was the safety of my clients once in to the house.

2. Roof getting older - because there still seemed to be life in the roof and with the state of appraisals today we went ahead and asked them to make necessary repairs and provide us with a five year roof cert from a licensed and bonded roofing professional.

3. The window had a big crack in it. The appraiser is going to most likely call this and besides who wants a broken window? The sellers had decided to just disclose it on the Form 17, but we went a head and asked for it to be fixed.

4. Lastly, I almost always ask the sellers to have the furnace serviced and to make any necessary repairs/replacements to ensure that there is a working and properly functioning furnace in the home at close. This means that if they call over a professional to service the furnace and there is a cracked heat exchanger, the wording is just enough so that the seller needs to repair it prior to close. The furnace servicer can not service the furnace if it is not working properly. Very important and I have gotten a lot of new furnaces this way for buyers when the furnace is broken or on its last leg.

We asked for other small things, but these were the biggies in my mind - Buying your first home can be extremely scary, but there are tons of things we can do as agents to make it easier and help you avoid pitfalls. Even the most highly remodeled home can have issues. Lynnwood Wa homes are a great place to start for a nice combination of amenities and economy!
