Dark Exterior Paint
The exterior is painted a very dark color, which may not be desirable for all buyers and could affect resale value. It also absorbs more heat.
Painted Exterior Brick
The exterior brick is painted a dark color, which can hide potential structural issues or water damage. This makes it difficult to assess the true condition of the brickwork.
Worn Front Steps and Porch
The front steps and porch show signs of wear and tear, with some uneven surfaces and potential trip hazards. The paint is also chipping in places.
Exposed Brick Wall
The exposed brick wall in the office area could be a source of drafts and moisture if not properly sealed. It may also require ongoing maintenance to prevent crumbling or deterioration.
Exposed Brick Walls
The exposed brick, while stylish, can be prone to crumbling and moisture retention if not properly sealed.
Small Powder Room

Educational Tour Ideas
Educational suggestions for property tours
Thoroughly inspect the painted exterior brick for cracks, bulging, or peeling paint, paying close attention to areas near the foundation and windows.
Examine the foundation for cracks, water stains, or signs of settling, both inside the basement (if accessible) and outside around the perimeter of the house.
Check the heating and cooling systems (furnace and central air) for age, condition, and proper operation. Ask the agent to turn them on during the inspection.
Inspect the roof from the ground for missing or damaged shingles, sagging, or other signs of wear and tear. Note the presence of any trees overhanging the roof.
