A guide to smart hedging in real estate transactions
A 5-step risk assessment methodology for home buying scenarios:
- Pre-screening phase: Enter the address of the property to be purchased to obtain a base risk score (on a scale of 1-100), with a score of 20 or more suggesting that the seller be required to provide defense space maintenance records prior to the site visit.
- At the time of the on-site inspection: Instant access to "Risk Quadrant" photos (North/South/East/West elevations) using mobile:
- Analysis of construction defects (e.g., wood eave to façade distance)
- Emergency remodeling cost estimates (based on HomeAdvisor data)
- bargaining strategyThe tool generates a "Risk-Value Discounting Model", which automatically calculates the risk rectification budget by inputting the unit price of local building construction as the basis for price cutting.
- terms of contract: A Fire Retrofit Rider template reviewed by a professional attorney is provided at the end of the report.
- Long-term monitoring: When a property is bound, the system pushes fire danger warnings for the area (integrating NOAA and USGS data)
