Pre-Offer Checklist

Pull permit records on the specific address to confirm build year before structuring any inspection. 1980s construction is the highest inspection exposure tier in our framework.

1980s systems: Roof age, electrical panel brand (Federal Pacific/Zinsco check required — do not skip on 1980s stock), polybutylene plumbing check required, and foundation review. All three items are required on 1980s Florida construction — confirm before contract.

Lakefront lots: If the specific lot has direct lake access, confirm dock rights, seawall condition and maintenance responsibility, and whether the HOA or the individual owner carries seawall and dock upkeep cost. These items affect both inspection scope and ongoing ownership cost.

HOA financials: Brian Wilder pulls current HOA dues, reserve funding percentage, and any pending special assessment disclosures before any offer is written. Contact 561-201-4717.

School zone: Verify school zone assignment at palmbeachschools.org with the specific address before any offer. Never rely on Zillow or listing agent verbal confirmation.
