Helpful Tips for New Homeowners

  • Foundation Movement: Oklahoma’s clay-heavy soils can cause foundation shifting — regular inspections are key.

  • Storm Preparedness: Tornadoes are a reality here; make sure your home has a storm plan (and possibly a shelter).

  • Roofing: Hail is common — newer roofs or recently inspected roofs are a major bonus for homebuyers.

  • Utilities: OG&E (electric), ONG (gas), and City of OKC (water/trash).
