The Hidden Risks Listings Don’t Show You

Most of the things that derail real estate deals never appear in listings.

Photos are curated. Descriptions are selective.
The biggest risks usually surface later — when buyers are already emotionally invested.

Common examples include:

• Inspection issues that look minor but carry long-term cost
• Appraisal gaps that force renegotiation
• Financing problems tied to property type
• Contract timelines buyers don’t fully understand

Jess is designed to surface these risks early — before they become stressful surprises.

Instead of waiting for problems to appear, Jess explains:

• What inspectors typically flag, and what’s normal versus serious
• How appraisal risk changes with pricing strategy
• Where buyers unintentionally lose leverage
• Which issues matter and which usually don’t

The goal isn’t to scare buyers.
It’s to replace fear with understanding.

When buyers know what’s normal, negotiable, and rare, they make calmer and smarter decisions — even when issues arise.
