One day I was sitting on the fire escape (red staircase on right side) I would sit on the top and dangle my legs off the end. When day I got startled 😮 and ended up falling 2 flights. By the Grace of God I did not get seriously injured. I was in the neighborhood because of a rental listing. #blessed.

goodlivingct Buyers: do not negotiate your inspection report emotionally 🏡🛠️ When a home inspection brings up serious issues, it is easy to get overwhelmed. But the smartest move is to stay focused on the items that truly matter — safety concerns, structural issues, roof problems, plumbing, electrical, heating, and cooling. Not every line on the report needs to become a negotiation. The goal is not to fight over every detail. The goal is to reduce risk, protect your investment, and make sure you still feel good about the home you are buying. 📄🔍 The strongest buyers negotiate with strategy, not emotion. 💡 #HomeBuyingTips #HomeInspection #RealEstateAdvice #ConnecticutRealEstate
