The knob-and-tube conversation, handled once
A surprising number of West Allis attics still have active knob-and-tube wiring. On the open market it is a deal killer in slow motion: the inspector finds it, the buyer’s insurance company refuses to write a policy, and the financing quietly falls apart three weeks in.
Sellers often do not learn this is a problem until they are already under contract and emotionally committed. Then they are quoted eight to fifteen thousand dollars for a rewire on a house they were trying to sell in order to stop spending money on it.
We buy with cash, so no insurer or lender gets a vote. We price the wiring in on day one, tell you we did, and close.
