And what is a home tour like? What do you do? Usually, a home tour lasts approximately half an hour, and it is our duty as real estate agents to tell you any opinions we have about the house and its surroundings, to disclose the material facts—everything we know that could change your opinion about whether or not to buy the house—and to tell you what is in good condition and what is not. We conduct a rigorous and detailed review of everything. Personally, I like to check some of the home’s systems, see what condition they are in, check for water leaks, make sure the lights turn on, check that the air conditioning is working, check the property boundaries, find out what encumbrances they have, analyze the condition of the entire surroundings, review the floor levels, check the attic, check the crawl space, and much more.
