9181 E Sugar SumacPre-Listing Brief · Roe
Yesterday at five PM, Heather walked Tyler and Tana through the home. Twelve items, four already contracted, five vendors dispatched, one P0 risk. This page is the canonical recap so Mike and the team are all on the same page.
Mike, this page is your full catch-up. Every line below was discussed at the walk-through. Heather and Tyler aligned on every item. The vendor lineup is in motion. If anything here doesn’t match what you’d want, text Tyler at (520) 462-6023 and we adjust before paint on Friday.
An oleander root protruded under one side of the pool deck. The deck has lifted. The pool itself is not yet impacted. Heather has had the root dug out twice and it came back both times because no one ever applied a systemic root kill. Ron Holtz is dispatched with the muscle and the chemicals to do it correctly this time.
Mitigating now is materially cheaper than negotiating later. If a buyer’s inspector escalates the deck-lift during the inspection period, the negotiated repair credit lands in the high four figures to mid five figures. We are spending dollars now to avoid spending tens of thousands later.
Each contractor owns their lane end to end. We are not stitching three quotes together on photo week.
Full root extraction. Chemical kill. Stops the deck-lift before it reaches the pool itself.
DispatchedOn site Thursday morning. Sellers don’t need to be present. Report forwarded the same day.
ScheduledInterior paint, electrical, wood door, microwave + stove via Refis, every misc punch-list item. One contractor, one timeline, one bill.
DispatchedWhirlpool match for the microwave or stainless upgrade. Jose recommends the path on visual return vs. cost.
DispatchedAnywhere, everywhere, any size. One call, one cleanup, photo-ready.
DispatchedHeather is installing the new sconces in the entryway herself.
Self-install~$50,000 outstanding · ~$300 a month · 3.9% APR · Dividend Finance. Three postures based on which buyer cohort the list price targets.
Buyer at this price is paying for “no strings.” The loan is a string. Strip it.
Split the difference. Use as a negotiation lever, not a hard concession. Seller credit toward principal is the most common shape.
At this price the cheap 3.9% solar payment is a feature, not a friction point. Assumption is the deal hook.
Severity high Standard repair Already on books
Root protruded under one side of the pool deck. Pool itself not yet impacted. Plant removed twice, never poisoned. Ron Holtz extracts the full root and kills it chemically this trip.
Roofsavers on site Thursday 5/7, 6:30am to 12pm. Report forwarded same day. Any P0 findings queued before Jose’s pass begins.
Existing vendor, $1,100 deposit paid. Hinges, one door, trim, panel, under-sink fix. Add-on this trip: install cabinet hardware while they’re on site.
Whirlpool dead more than a year. Two routes via Jose: Refis used appliance match, or new stainless. Jose recommends.
Bedrooms have to be redone. Bid the full interior. Tyler’s line is $5,500 · at or under, we green-light.
Fan fixture stuck at three-quarters power. Exterior light fixtures and bulbs. Window track issues. Solar lights at the front. Jose’s electrician owns it.
Already on Heather’s books with her vendor on a continuing-deal pricing. Just need install date and remaining cost confirmed for the running budget.
Security door is fine. The wood door behind it needs replacing.
Two missing in front bedroom. ~$60 · 80 each at Home Depot. Measure on site, in and out same day.
Mario Munoz clears junk anywhere and everywhere and moves anything big needed.
Two new sconces in the entryway. Heather installing herself.
Pricing-band lever, not a fix. ~$50K balance, ~$300/month, 3.9% APR. See Paths page for the banded posture.
Each of these closes a budget line or unblocks a vendor. None of them takes more than a phone call.
