After running into one realtor after another who seemed to all belong to the same “Sales Prevention Department”, my beautiful bride and I put the house hunting on hold for a while. The straw that finally broke the camel’s back was when we drove all the way across town for an open house, and the owner/agent didn’t even show up. We still get emails when new houses that meet our criteria come on the market, and look at the photos online. But apparently a lot of homeowners didn’t get the memo that they’re supposed to clean up their house before they take pictures, and don’t have HGTV. No matter how nice the house is, we’re not too motivated to spend our valuable time going to see it when it looks this junky online.
Glenn,
As a real estate investor for 33 years, I LOVE pictures like this! I LOVE weird colors, worn carpet, outdated fixtures, even doggy doodle on the carpet.
The painter, carpet layer, and handyman will have all this fixed and brand new in just a matter of days.
And my beautiful bride gets to pick all the colors/carpet SHE wants!
