It is unanimous! Rip out the carpet!

Friday, October 23rd, 2009 | Home Improvements, Home Selling | No Comments

It is unanimous!  Rip out the carpet!  Doing this small amount of work will help a Buyer see a move in ready house instead of work to do = more $$$ for the Seller.

What do you think? Should this carpet… Stay or Go?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 | Home Buying, Home Improvements, Home Selling | No Comments

WHAT DO YOU THINK?? Should this carpet be ripped out to help the sale of this house (probably hardwood flrs underneath)? VOTE: Rip it out! OR Leave it! The new Owners can deal with it!

Showing Adventures ~ Volume 1

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009 | Home Buying | No Comments

 

Sometimes we can see the funniest things on showings…

 

After looking at several houses in a neighborhood, we came to one the Buyers really seemed to like – open kitchen, gas fireplace & near a park.

 

We head upstairs to take a closer look at the bedrooms.  Wonderful Master bedroom & bath, good room sizes.

 

Mr. Buyer heads into Bedroom 3 to check out the view.  Shortly we hear, “Hey guys, you got to look at this!”  So we all head into the bedroom to check out the view.

 

Through the window in the house next door we can see two teenagers – a girl & a boy – fully dressed FACING each other seeming to be in deep concentration. They are very mechanically thrusting their hips at each other again & again & again.

 

We break in to hysterics because this scene is SO funny & keep watching for a bit.  After a minute or two, the hip thrusting stops & the teenagers begin to dance separately. Must have been a dance party – it was Friday night.

 

All of a sudden we realize we have turned our light on & the hip thrusters are now looking at us wondering what we are doing….

 

Lesson for the day! Shut your blinds. J

Not what you want to see on a listing appointment…

Not what you want to see on a listing appointment.

Not what you want to see on a listing appointment.

 Notice anything odd? Oh um… the RACCOON TRAP in the living room!

Not a great selling feature …. 

The Seller promised he would get the “critter” real soon. 

Real estate is never boring! :)
