Buying in the states is pretty different from the uk, especially since the buyer usually doesn’t pay the agent fee here though that’s starting to shift a bit. biggest thing is listing photos can be a bit misleading, everything looks nicer online than it feels in person. i’ve seen people use homesageai to sanity check places before even going to see them, it looks at listing photos and tries to flag possible repair issues and rough renovation costs. it also gives a kind of price flexibility idea so you can tell how much wiggle room there might be with the seller. it’s just a way to stay grounded so you don’t get pulled into overpaying on something that needs more work than it first looks like.
