1. Put marbles on the floor. Yes, really! Put them on the floor and see if they roll anywhere; that could mean foundation issues.
2. Look at the ceilings. You might not ordinarily do this, but if you do, you might spot cracks from settling, leaks, or other major issues.
3. Look for dirt on the outside by the foundation. If dirt is climbing up the wall to where the wall meets the concrete, there might be a termite problem.
4. Look under the sinks. When you turn on the faucets, don't forget to open the cupboard doors to see if there are problems with the sink or damage to the wood.
5. Apps. The handyman app can help you determine costs of repairs, and a sunseeker app can look at your home and figure out which rooms the sun will shine into and at what times of the day. This is especially true here in Las Vegas or Henderson where it gets very hot.

The main thing to remember is that when you find a house you love, don't overlook potential problem areas that could cause you grief down the road. If you have any questions or need any real estate help, don't hesitate to call or email me!
