Andrew Postell warns house flippers never to show properties during renovation. Unfinished sites look unprofessional and scare buyers, but worse: if a visitor gets hurt, your homeowner's insurance won't cover it, only the contractor's does. Keep everyone off-site until the work is done.
Hey now, welcome to another Drew 2 Time. Look, a ceiling fan! So I want to show you some of the updates, but something really important happened here at the home today, and I need every single rehabber, flipper to understand what not to do. So somebody stopped by the house, asked me what my plan was. I told them I was going to sell it. Check it out, wiring. We got the rough electrical. These will be canister lights in for the kitchen. Once I told them I was going to be selling the home, They wanted to come in. Hey, can I just see the house? No, under no circumstance are you ever to allow anybody into an active job site unless they're part of the crew. You only show the property when it's ready to be shown. I mean, look at all the stuff laying around. I mean, one, it's unsightly, could deter them from even wanting the property. But 2, if they grab one of those electrical cables or step on a nail, that's on your insurance policy. Like if a contractor got injured, that would be under my general contractor's insurance policy. But if you invite somebody into your own home and they get injured, that's on you. Don't do it. If they're serious about the home, they'll come back later and see it. Only show the house when it's ready to be shown. All right, thanks for watching today's Drew 2. I'm Andrew Postell. We'll talk with you soon. Thanks for watching today's Drew 2. I'm Andrew Postell.
