Its position in the Will County portion of Saviory's service area keeps it on his buyer tours.
Buyers in Lockport find a mix of historic homes near the downtown and newer subdivisions on the edges. Because the housing stock spans several eras, mechanical and structural conditions vary.

What Saviory Checks Here
Check the foundation condition in older homes, especially those with stone construction, and examine the furnace, roof and water heater age. Drainage near the canal corridor also deserves attention. Saviory flags these during showings, and a licensed home inspector should verify anything concerning.
