It almost looks to me that the row of plants on the right hand side could be part of the problem .

Hiring him to redesign the landscaping or plant several new trees is a CE. 

Before becoming a full time teacher/musician/media manager, I was heavily involved in management roles, 100% commission sales as well as running my own car detailing and lawn maintenance companies (separate companies - we didn't wash your cars while we planted your new flowers haha).

I've always put out a good product in a good area at 95% retail value because I buy a bit more conservatively.We just listed a property last week and had 25 showings, 4 offers with three over list in the first 48 hours during a tropical depression.

Remmington Arms and Polaris also just opened plants, and Boeing already had a huge presence there as well as Toyota.  

The water leaking from the cracks will be found by any plants, trees especially.But, even if these problems exist a good roto-rootering will clear them up.  

But no tropical beach homes and definitely no boats.

I'm really more of a tropics kind of guy (Cliche, I know-- success = beaches, palm trees, etc 8) ).

This is also the location of the world's 2nd largest solar generating plant. 

Recently I've read the news of Boeing laying off several hundred workers at its Everett plant.
