We noticed that our previous house was put on the market two months ago. The realtor listing and pictures made it look like they remodeled the kitchen, and mud room, and have already moved out. Anyway, they put it on the market for nearly twice what they paid for it, and had to chop a large amount off the asking price, then it looked like they had a contingent sale, which fell through. So yesterday, it was put back on the market with another big price chop.
There are so many things wrong with the listing about basic stuff that did not get changed, and contradictory info between one part of the text listing and another, or the pictures. The foundation is not, and never was “brick and mortar.” It’s concrete block. The house still does not have ceiling fans, going by the pictures. It does not have “forced air heating” from that hot water baseboard that’s still there, although it does have central air conditioning. My god, how can you fuck up a property listing that badly?
Whenever I saw a listing that contradictory when looking at house listings online, I’d have been out of there within 10 minutes after an open house, or wouldn’t have bothered going in the first place, let alone asking a realtor for a private tour. Over the decades, I’ve dealt with five realtors to buy and/or sell. One was really good; the others were idiots. Unfortunately, when you move from one state to another, there’s little way of researching them, or getting referrals ahead of time.
