Welcome to Real Life and Real Estate! Today's real life topic is Deferred Maintenance. With our recent extreme cold in the Tacoma area, our homes revealed what they are NOT good at doing.

For future home owners, how does deferred maintenance effect your plans for the home? Give a listen and lets get you home!

In this episode I chat with my former client Billy who purchased a condo last fall. Here he tells the story of why the condo was needed, some of the obstacles to getting done and his plans to use the condo in the future.

Fun aside, Billy is also a real estate agent in another part of the state. As a local agent, he could lean on my familiarity with the neighborhoods and allowed me to help select an area that would meet their needs.
