I purchased my third home January 2014 through Cano Realty. Although the agent was nice, I felt as…read moreif she didn't know much about older homes and the issues that they might have. Every time I would ask her a question, it was as if her mind would go blank and she would just stare at her cell phone. She really didn't know a lot about the house we were interested in. Since the house did need work, we wanted to give a lower offer but she didn't think that that was a good idea. Also, make sure that if you are buying an older home that you go with YOUR OWN inspector. We trusted her and went with an inspector that she 'knew for years' and got screwed. According to our plumber, we now have to replace our entire drainage system because some older homes come with a standard 11/2 inch pipe from the laundry system instead of the modern 2 inch pipe. Because of this, our WASHER FLOODS THE LAUNDRY ROOM WITH EVERY WASH and cannot wash our dishes in the sink at the same time because the laundry backs up into the sink every time we are running a load. This was also an issue with the house that owner was selling next door...the owner was forced to correct it with that house, but not ours. This will cost us around $6,000 to correct. We feel that if the owner's agent had disclosed the issue with the house next door (same owner, built same year, same original design, selling at the same time as ours) AND if we had a competent inspector as the house next door did, we wouldn't be having to shell out $6,000 to fix what should have been fixed in the first place. WE FOUND OUT LATER THAT THE OWNER KNEW ABOUT THIS PRIOR TO SELLING. After disclosing this to our agent, I asked her what we could do about it short of litigation and was ignored. Protect yourself, hire your own inspector and research common issues with older homes before you buy. Do not trust your realtor, they are in it for profit and a quick sell. This was the first time I'd ever used the realtors inspector and unfortunately this is what happened. No matter how much you want the house and want it to pass inspection, do the right thing and hire someone that is on YOUR side and not the side of the realtor.

I bought a piece of land up in Trout Lake five years ago and have been eager to build my retirement…read morehome there. I found Hiline and was excited because it was in my price range. I picked the 1780 home because I like the way the front looked after I got my permit and financing. I was eager to get ready. It was June 2024 and I told Hiline we can only start this year if you can get the roof on by November 1. if you know Trout Lake after November 1, the snow starts falling and it makes it very difficult to do anything. I said "if you can't get the roof on by November 1, we'll start in April". I was given a verbal assurance that they can get it done and so it began. There was a fire up there that delayed a little bit, but it shouldn't have affected my build because we weren't in the evacuation zone. It was slow going from the very beginning, but I was still assured he can get it done by November 1. The foundation went in and then the framers showed up. I was up at the property every Friday and I think I've only seen the framers once the entire time. Yet again, I was assured it will be done by November 1. there be times I'd go up and see no work done from the previous week. When I started, they told me with new Washington laws say they can't put can lights in. I walk over to my neighbor's house to look at their build and found that they were using can lights. I called the state Electrical Inspector to find out it was legal to use can lights. I called them and they said it was a misunderstanding. They're just trying to make a good seal so they can pass their door seal test. They were not willing to work with me about putting can lights in. I wanted to put a fireplace in but again they're not gonna put a hole in the roof cause they wanted to pass their test. They said they can get their guy out there to lay out the hole so later I can put the chimney in. that never happened. I made it a point not to be the reason the house build would be delayed. Septic, power,and water were ready to go. He called and told me foundation is done and it needs to be backfilled before the framers showed up. I had it done in two days. I made sure that there was no snow around the house. The streets were plowed by the county. They never made their November 1 deadline. Started to rain and snow, and my lumber was laying in the mud. The exposed wood timbers was put in place with muddy footprints all over it. I asked Hiline "is that finished product". They said "yes, you can just pressure washer and sand it." I was shocked that that was finished product and turned over to me. Part of this build was saving money by doing my own building trash pick up. I guess the workers thought they could just throw cigarettes, pop cans, and lunch trash in my bushes. I thought that was very disrespectful. Part of the reason I picked that plan was exposed wood front. If you looked at the pictures on their website or in their catalog, it showed the supports were exposed wood. when I saw the 6 x 6 treated post, I asked "Why am I not getting the nice Unfinished look". they said that's what you paid for and that the pictures on the website were incorrect. To me that's false advertising. By the way, I don't recommend the model 1780. The quality of wood they use in the front is pretty low. The roof finally got put on the eve of Christmas Eve. Two months late. in that time my house got soaking wet, the lumber was muddy. no matter what I do you're not gonna dry that out with the temperature outside of 17°. So the next three months, I did my best to dry that house out. April came around and it was time to insulate and sheet rock the house. I must give credit to the sheet rockers. They did an excellent job. I was very impressed. The house got so wet and sat, mold started growing underneath the house. I had to get under there and spray the entire thing before they could insulate. Their delays cost me money. The criticism I have with the builder is that he's not very proactive. He reacts to each situation. For example , schedule the next contractor out as soon as their schedule fits and when that contractor is done, he'll plan the next guy to come in on their timeline. which really draws out the project. He needed me to put in the microwave range vent. He called me during my work week and told me I needed to get up there the next day so that the carpenter can finish. A 2 hour drive, one way. How about telling me a week before. I could've finished up that weekend I was up there. The house build was delayed by two months. I was financially penalized by my bank for being late on the build . Again, Their delays cost me money. The county gave me occupancy to live in the house, but I'm still sanding the front because of the dirt ingrained in the lumber. Hopefully I'll be able to stain it this fall.
