🟢 Biggest green flag: A property where the owner takes pride in regular maintenance. Clean lawn edges, healthy turf, trimmed shrubs, weed-free beds, functioning irrigation, and clear communication usually mean they'll value quality work and become a long-term client.
🔴 Biggest red flag: A property that's severely overgrown but the owner expects it to look perfect for a bargain price or immediately. Unrealistic expectations, deferred maintenance, and constant price-shopping can make those jobs difficult to complete successfully and rarely lead to long-term relationships.
