Let’s go on a listing presentation and pretend we are going to sell this home.
Thank you for inviting me over. Show me your home. Let’s start in the kitchen. Would I like some leftover spaghetti? No thank you.
No, really, you don’t have to heat it up for me.
Nice to meet you, sir. I see you like baseball caps. There are two on display on the cabinets. Will those be staying there while the house is up for sale?
Oh, you have a son. Maybe he can help you clear off the refrigerator.
Let’s go over the paperwork to list your home for sale. Then we’ll look at the rest of the house.
This is your master bedroom. I’m not a big fan of clothes and lumpy beds. Can we straighten this up before buyers arrive?
I see you went with a monochromatic color scheme in the living room. Did you sponge paint the room and ceiling yourself? I can tell.
Maybe we can remove the dead animals. This is the living room, after all, not the dead room. Why is that painting hung so high?
That sure is a bright sweater.
Your patio is, uh, big. Will you be finishing all those projects before buyers arrive?

That living room looks like there was a fire in there, and the walls are covered with smoke damage. Is it my imagination, or is that patio about to fall over on one side?

Your comments on the kitchen photos had me laughing. Also, what’s going on with those cabinets–they look half painted, but even if they only started to paint, I don’t think it would leave that kind of pattern.

P#1 thru P# 4: When a kitchen looks like that, it’s better to NOT include photos in a listing.
P# 5: If I were there, I’d be asking that agent “seriously - have you EVER sold a home before?”
P# 6: That’s one messy bedroom (and it doesn’t look like there’s even any room to walk in there).
P# 7 & P# 8: I’ll give the benefit of the doubt and assume it wasn’t a bad living room before they had the fire and suffered all that smoke damage.
P# 9: That’s a laundry room? To be proud of, let alone want to use? Unbelievable!
P# 10: There are just so many things wrong with this. That’s one amateur DIY project there, especially that “professional” rooftop a/c install.

She’s a no nonsense type of woman. Bet you anything she shot both those deers.

I actually like the vintage kitchen in the first few photos. Needs some sprucing up (new paint for the cabinets and walls, maybe some new flooring) but it definitely has the potential to be really cute!

Wow. What is it with people in real estate pictures? Common sense isn’t very common. Also, that horrible paint color, combined with the wash “technique” just make the place look like a 4-pack a day smoker has lived there for 40 years. Gross and dirty looking.

You can see why they would have to have that ferocious guard dog on the patio to protect their stereo to the right and the trash bag full of empty cans to the left.

I really like the sponge-paint living room. With a cool cream window treatment and neutral furnishings the room would be lovely. It just needs some love folks.
