Let me investigate a house with your local agent and take photos of the major systems BEFORE YOU MAKE AN OFFER.

As a professional property manager, we do move-in and move-out inspections and if those photos do not match, the tenant is responsible.

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

Allow showings but, you have to be careful - we do not show homes to anyone who has not provided a photo I.D. and been screened through our validation process and provided a credit card in case of damages.

It takes a little work to move your personal belongings out (paperwork, photos, special items), but it's worth it to have someone covering my mortgage and then some while I travel.

My upper cabinet is the first photo, bottom cabinets were the same till now.

If they are ghosting you, start by taking photos of everything and itemize their bill.
