Selling an older home in Lealman
Half the homes in Lealman were built in 1968 or earlier, about 58 years ago and before the 2002 Florida Building Code. Buyers' insurers will usually ask for a 4-point inspection (roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC). Getting one done before you list lets you fix deal-killers on your own schedule instead of during the inspection period.
