The Radio Realtors featuring Robert Lewis Real Estate Podcast

That home inspection report could contain a few surprises, but which ones should really worry you? 🏠🔍

On this episode of The Radio Realtors, Robert Lewis reveals 8 Potential Hidden Deal Killers that can derail a real estate transaction, including aging HVAC systems, questionable DIY work, roof concerns, pest findings, sewer line surprises, compromised window seals, and the danger of letting too many little issues overwhelm a great deal.

Robert also shares why having an experienced Realtor and trusted professionals like Augie Mendieta with Adventure Home Inspections can make all the difference when it comes time to separate a legitimate concern from something that simply needs perspective and a smart negotiation strategy.

Plus, Robert talks with Marc Gabris from Freedom Pros Solar about solar, energy costs, and what Northern California homeowners should know.

The big lesson? An inspection report doesn’t have to kill your deal. How you respond to it matters.

What if the home that just fell out of escrow is actually the home you should be looking at?

On this episode of The Radio Realtors, Robert Lewis with Made 4 More Realty, powered by eXp Realty, reveals why Back on Market homes, or BOMs, can create unexpected opportunities for Northern California homebuyers.

Why did the previous deal fall apart? Does a BOM mean there’s something wrong with the house? Could the seller now be more motivated? And how can a buyer use the property’s history, inspections, financing, and smart negotiation to potentially land a better deal?

Robert breaks down what buyers need to know before passing over a Back on Market property.

Plus, Jay Voorhees and Andrei Paduraru from JVM Lending join the show to talk mortgages, today’s financing environment, and strategies buyers can use to make homeownership more affordable.

And we put it all into practice with Robert’s Back on Market listing at 6605 Thunderhead Circle in Orangevale, where qualified buyers may be able to take advantage of a lender paid 2 1 buydown through JVM Lending, subject to program terms and qualification.

💣 Sometimes a deal falling apart for one buyer can create an opening for the next one.

Thinking about buying in Northern California? Before you overlook a BOM, call Robert Lewis and find out whether there’s an opportunity hiding behind those three letters.
