It’s common when you’re showing property for your clients to ask about the condition of various aspects of the property. Some common examples include:

• The roof looks terrible. Do you think we would have to replace it?
• Is that wall located on the property line?  
• Is that a water stain on the ceiling?

For each of these questions, there is only one right answer.
I don’t know. Would you like the name of a specialist who can give you an answer?

To be more specific:

• Roof: I don’t know. Would you like the names of three roofers you could contact about inspecting the roof?
• Property Line: I don’t know. Would like the names of three surveyors who could determine the exact location of the property line?
• Brown stain on the ceiling: I don’t know. Would you like the name of a roofer or an inspection service to determine the nature of the problem?

In case you’re wondering what that brown spot could be other than water, I’ve seen several houses with brown spots on the ceiling that resulted from bee hives in the attic.
