What the heck is a DEADMANS POST?

The one thing about selling homes is you learn something new everyday! Let me tell you even the little things make a difference. Everyday in a real estate transaction buyers do inspections and then they will submit a request for repairs to the sellers for various items! When it comes to a request for repairs the items with the biggest concerns are those of health and safety. Once upon a time we saw a request for a DEADMANS POST - so tell me what the heck is this item a home inspector called out? So ok great you know what it is. Well I have done lots of googling and talking on this one over and over and gotten different responses! This is what I have found out thus far, a DEADMANS POST is a concrete post installed in front of a laundry area located in a garage. It is to protect the person driving the car from backing into the laundry area and causing damage. These days I don't see them. So is this an item that you would call a health and safety hazard and is this still a common practice? Well I suppose that is too each their own. My thought is be sure when you the seller agree to do some type of repair for a buyer you have complete clarity to what your agreeing too and never ever agree to anything until you discuss it with your licensed real estate professional. In the end it could cost you a couple of unnecessary bucks. Hire a top agent like Lori Alvarez & Team, kw Realty to get your home sold for top dollar! Call us today at 909-227-4196.
