Let’s talk about something I see all the time here in Auburn and Opelika…
Those homes that look absolutely perfect online—but fall apart after inspection.
The photos? Gorgeous.
Fresh paint. Granite countertops. Maybe even a trendy shiplap wall straight off Pinterest.
But what the listing doesn’t show you?
-
Mold in the crawlspace
-
A roof on its last leg
-
An HVAC system from the early 2000s
-
Water intrusion behind those stylish new cabinets
I’ve seen too many buyers fall hard for Instagram-worthy finishes… only to get slammed with thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs once they’re under contract.
Listen, I’m not saying this to scare you—I’m saying it to protect you.
Because here’s the truth:
✨ A pretty photo won’t tell you the full story about a house.
🧠 But I will.
If you’re buying a home in Auburn or Opelika, don’t let the fresh paint fool you.
Let’s look beyond the lipstick and make sure the bones are solid.
