More often than not, seller or agents avoid discussing the negative aspects of purchasing your new house among the available Redmond homes for sale. Why would they talk to you about the occasional flooding or about some criminal occurrences in the area? Of course, they’d rather not or they won’t be selling anything at all. Their sole intent of selling you the house, most of the time hides some of the essential and precise facts that could make or break a purchase deal.
