How to Sell a Home With Synthetic Stucco
Posted Feb 13, 2007 @ 9:56 am, Viewed by 1305 Visitors, Read 1320 Times.EIFS, Dryvet, or synthetic stucco, as it is often called, can create a real problem if you are trying to sell your home. From the outset, many buyers will overlook your home without giving it a second thought no matter what you have done to protect your home from the potential problems that are associated with the product. This is unfortunate for many homeowners who have taken good care of their home because might have a difficult time selling because many Alpharetta buyers will simply not even consider the home. Fortunately, there are certain steps that you can take to improve your chances of selling a home with synthetic stucco.
First, you need to obtain all records you have for any repairs made to the siding. Second, you should obtain a stucco bond for moisture and repair that will transfer to new owners and provide them with the piece of mind they will need to purchase the home. Next, make sure that the siding is not in direct contact with the ground anywhere. Finally, because moisture being trapped behind the siding is the main cause of problems, have a moisture test performed on your home and provide the test results for a potential buyer to review.
If you follow these steps you will be able to minimize a potential buyers concerns and reservations they might have with buying a stucco home. While there is generally nothing you can do to attract a buyer who does not like the look of stucco, you can help yourself by recognizing the concerns a potential buyer may have. Being prepared for the concerns is your best defense against losing a buyer.
