Cast iron pipes don’t fail overnight—they deteriorate from the inside out.
By the time you notice a problem,
the damage is often already severe.
It’s not a matter of if cast iron pipes are damaged…
👉 it’s how severe the damage is.
And that difference can mean:
✔ A manageable solution
❌ Or a major, costly repair
Buyers: Know before you buy.
Sellers: Address it before it costs you the sale.

Create an Illusion of Occupancy: Use smart timers for interior and exterior lights, as well as radios, to make the house look lived-in.
Regular Inspections and Maintenance: Visit the property frequently to ensure it is secure, or hire a property management service to do so. Keep the lawn mowed, weeds trimmed, and mail picked up to avoid signals of vacancy.
Visible Security Systems: Install security cameras, motion-activated lights, and alarm systems. Placing signs that indicate a security system is present can act as a deterrent.
Secure All Access Points: Ensure all doors and windows are locked, and consider adding deadbolts or padlocks to exterior doors.
Engage Neighbors: Ask trusted neighbors to watch for suspicious activity and report it to the police.
Post "No Trespassing" Signs: Clearly mark the property as private to warn off potential squatters.
Advertise Wisely: If listing online, avoid showing photos of high-value appliances inside the home.

Agi Anderson, the Florida Property Diva and the curator of Space Coast Real Estate Scoops, recently sold a home in Cocoa Beach. Agi sent the seller an RPR Value Report from the local multiple listing service that stated $325,000 as the value. The seller was somewhat shocked because the Zestimate she checked on Zillow showed $386,000 as the value.
The problem is, owners believe that the Zestimate is accurate and it takes considerable persuasion to get them back to reality of what the true value is for their property.
Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff may have recently given real estate agents like Agi a gift they won’t soon forget: a sure-fire way to show that Zestimates can miss by a mile. How? By selling a property for much less than its Zestimate.
“The fact that we missed and there are empirical reasons we missed — that’s a great conversation that real estate agents should have” with consumers, he said, citing the property’s irregular lot and location on a busy road as partly responsible for its Zestimate’s inaccuracy.But he expressed hope that, in the same discussion, agents also won’t instill “data nihilism” in consumers, and that they acknowledge that humans also can miss the mark.
