A house with foundation problems

Foundation problems are the fastest way to lose a retail buyer. The word alone ends most deals, even when the actual movement is minor and long since stopped.

Engineering reports are expensive, repair bids vary wildly for the same house, and every bid is an estimate that can grow once work begins. Buyers know this, which is why they leave.

What makes this hard

The parts that stall a normal sale

One report ends the sale

A foundation note in an inspection report typically produces either a withdrawal or a demand for a large credit.
Bids do not agree with each other

It is common to get quotes on the same house that differ by tens of thousands, which makes it impossible to price the problem confidently.
It shows up elsewhere in the house

Movement causes cracked walls, doors that will not close, and plumbing problems under a slab, all of which get flagged separately.

Questions

About this situation specifically

Do I need an engineering report?

No. If you already have one it is useful, but do not commission one for our benefit.

The foundation was repaired years ago. Does that matter?

Yes, and in your favor. Bring any paperwork and warranty documents you have.

How much does foundation damage reduce the offer?

It depends on the severity and on what it has caused elsewhere in the house. We will show you how we got there instead of just handing you a lower number.
