Friday Funnies: You know it’s the wrong house when….
When you’re looking for a new home, there are probably lots of things on your “Want” list. But what about your “No way in heck!” list? Sure, there are small things that make a house the wrong one…but here are some great big signs that you might want to run, not walk, to a different house for sale!
So, with no further ado, You know it’s the wrong house when….
- The “Days on the Market” column is too small for all the digits
- “Exorcism schedule” is included in the seller’s disclosure
- Doors to some rooms are locked, with a sign that says “Do not open until after the sale. Surprise!”
- When you arrive to see the house, you discover that the FBI is waiting to walk around with you, “Just in Case”
- The Realtor asks for your next of kin before they open the front door
- The “Not Included in the Sale” list mentions electricity, water, roof…
- The house next door has three large Greek letters on the front — and residents, er um, “asleep” on the lawn
- You have to remove the “Crime Scene” tape to enter the house
- It’s described as a great place for “An energetic do-it-yourself type who can see hidden potential”
- The first words out of the Realtor’s mouth are “You’ll get used to the smell…”
