5 Red Flags During Showings
Answer 4 questions to get a 5-category red-flag checklist: structural, process, missing-information, pressure signals, and your counter-strategies. Red lines are non-negotiable, not nice-to-haves.

- Six high-risk areas: size, schools, additions, trees, taxes, HOA
- Process lines: no disclosures, no inspection, no contingencies
- Spot pressure tactics; answer with 3 data questions
- Every red line has a counter-action
