Tree limbs from my vacant lot felt onto neighbor's roof and fence during Hurricane Milton. Who's responsible for the repair?

Title pretty much explains it but here are a few more details.

I bought an investment property with a double lot. I split it, remodeled the house, sold the house in one lot, and kept vacant lot next to it (that was my profit).

I sold the house a year ago and moved overseas in March. I've got an email yesterday from the buyer (property is now a 5/3 Airbnb) saying he needs to talk to me about what happened and one tree is leaning badly.

I'll take care of the leaning tree but I'm not sure if I'm liable for the repairs. House is in Clearwater so it was hit badly by the hurricane.

Should his insurance take care of it because it is hurricane damage regardless if it was from the tree next door or a flying car that landed on his roof?

Maybe he'll ask me to cover his hurricane deductible, which is usually 2% of property value (house sold for 650k) and may be higher than repair costs ... I'm not sure about the extent of the damages yet.

Any help is appreciated.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
