I am showing properties for the past week.. My clients want a good deal and I want to make them happy. We look... and look.. and look. There are some very good prospects-- and on paper they seem like A REAL GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY. I should have emphasized on the word Seem as showing these houses sound more like the Bachelor Game--what's inside that door so play with me, will you?
Door #1-- 5 Br 2.5 Ba ;swimming pool; lots of upgrades like open kitchen; huge master bedroom;great room; low maintenance backyard with swimming pool.
Reality Check: Lilac/Purplish Carpeted stairs to upstairs; peach-colored master bedroom with purple curtains; all toilet bowls are gone(eeewww); swimming pool controls-missing; A/C -Heater taken by owners; swimming pool- green algae water; backyard cement all around.
Door#2-5 Br 3 Ba; Bedroom and Bath downstairs; kitchen needs to be finished; color-coordinated rooms; swimming pool with spa;ready to move in.
Real Story: Nice travertine entrance; the door has a big hole( someone took the peep-hole, not a good sign); kitchen needs to be finished? yeah,right! they took the whole kitchen-appliances and countertops(they left the sink,yey!); and the color--super bright yellow orange(feels hotter inside than the 90 degree weather outside)in the living room and one bedroom is painted maroon-color blind; took all the lighting fixtures; and the master bath?- they even took the $15.00 medicine cabinet! Holy Batman!
Door # 3- Wonderful home with 4 Br and a Bonus Room; Swimming pool; granite countertop; deck with a pano view. All it needs is you!
The Truth ??? Gothic Design Borders; Fake Brick design in the kitchen; DIY antique painting(it looked awful); Turquoise Blue bedroom (Jack) Deep Green Room(Jill); the star spangled bathroom--gold and black... now is your imagination runing wild yet? Oh they took the backyard barbecue!
After the showing, I had a BIG headache...I bet my buyers have one too.. And no we did not choose any of the 3 doors. We'll find THE HOUSE- Soon!!!

I sense the pain of the homemaker turned homeless who could not keep the houses in the story, and had to take things of psychic value with them; unless they are Hitlerish acts of passing the pain to who would take over. Either way, the pain is still there. Houses with such pains are hard to sell unless a relief somehow can be made by being truthful about them or spending for some offerings in exorcising the pains.
