2--Hello, Joseph. I'm the buyer, Mrs. Smith
1--Hello, Mrs. Smith. I've done a preliminary check of the property.
2--That's great! What did you find?
1--There are some issues with this home.
2--For instance?
1--Structurally, the house is sound.
2--That's a good start, Joseph.
1--The plumbing is substandard, the water heater is old, and the roof has issues.
2--You're kidding, right?
1--I wish I was. I'll know more in a couple of days.
2--Okay, keep me informed.
