If you are buying from an Ibuyer (offerpad, knock, opendoors) & check their repairs carefully!

You can actually get a great buy from any of the ibuyers but work with a thorough agent with a team in place to bid and tackle any repairs. This is a great property in Cumming, GA with a need for some HandyANDY help! Ibuyers are companies that are internet based who purchase properties from homeowners, usually for cash that are then fixed a bit and immediately resold. Investor sellers will almost always use the cheapest providers for repairs so expect to redo some. HandyANDY will often redo improperly redone repairs at no cost when we are doing other repairs to the property.
Even with nicely built homes like this one, the original builders cut some corners which means maintenance now. Trim boards are usually just painted where you can see them, the flashing is cut short and water will eventually get behind the trim causing the rot you see on this property. On every trim repair, we weather cut the replacement piece and back-prime and seal all faces of the piece. This is the right way to do it and HandyANDY offers a lifetime of ownership warranty on all trim repairs;
The sellers did some recent repairs to the rear windows and all of the cuts are horizontal which traps water and causes more repairs! Someone did the same thing with the rear door repairs - here they tried to fix the frame and molding but left it rotted at the top corner. Properties like this one are standard repairs for us. Agents & homeowners love are hands-on, one call almost does all approach to home repairs and improvements.
This home also has some nichi siding on the back and front of the chimney that need to be replaced. Areas with high exposure to water with cause this siding to delanimate. We always use James Hardie hardiplank materials on our repairs and they come with a fully transferable lifetime warranty.
