From the insideABODE archive: Windermere Abode agent Heidi Hurst on a listing that almost fell apart (recorded October 2025).
A pre-listing inspection turned up a foundation issue the week before the home went live. Heidi walks through what came next: bringing in a structural engineer and a foundation company, lining up the fix with reports and videos, and giving that whole package to every interested buyer. The first buyer still walked after their own expert panicked them. Twenty days later the home was back under contract at full price, with the seller paying some closing costs toward the repair. Her lesson: tell the emotional story, but lead with the logic.
