Realtor Horror Stories

[PCinSD]

Shortly before finding this site in 2007, I looked at a condo in Cortez Hill. One of the older complexes close to the 163. I met the realtor there and she let me know as we walked in that the previous owner had passed away in it. The door jambs were busted out from the police/emergency personnel breaking in. The place was trashed. She hadn’t done anything to the place since she purchased it in the ’80’s.

I rent a small apartment in a bankers hill complex. There’s been 2 units come vacant over the past several years because the tenants were found dead in their bathtubs. The manager told me he always discloses this to prospective new tenants. It’s gotta be a little creepy taking your first bath/shower in one of those units.

Ok… Ok…

I don’t mean to be insentive but it is simply not realistic to say “I am not going to do “X” because someone passed away here”.

There are very few place that doesn’t have someone who died somewhere…

Hell… Hotel Del Mar is supposed to be filled with ghost and that does not keep anyone away. Been to the hospital? Same thing…

Its just not realistic to me.

For my wife and I, whether a death would affect our decision would depend on the cause of death.

If it was a murder where the assailant is unknown, we probably would not buy for fear there is some sort of continuing grudge against the family. We can’t exactly hang a “the XYZ family has MOVED and no longer lives here!” banner across the front of the house.

If the death was of natural causes, it might give us pause if it happened recently (like the 3 year figure) but price fixes everything. 🙂 For the right price, we’d buy it!

Totally agree.

That is why I made the mob hit comment…

My buddy has a girlfriend who rents a place where someone died. She claims the spectre visits here from time to time. One of the so called benevolt ghost it think. I was kind of shocked that she brought it up because we were at a dinner party with ppl she really didn’t know that well. Before I knew half of the people in the room had personal ghost stories… Couldn’t believe it… But hey… I don’t judge.

Point is…

Ghost just don’t like me… They just don’t find me that interesting of a personality to reveal themselves to me! 😛

Plus I catch one living in my house they are going to do the vacumming and BETTER leave the toliet seat up!

😛

P.S. Svelte… That is brilliant idea… Hell! We both grew up with Scooby Doo… We find a house on the MLS… Fake haunt it for 6 months… Watch the asking price fall to zero… and with luck some meddling kids won’t come around before the bid goes through… Perfect!

P.S.S.

Because I cannot add great wisdom to the board I will be the comic relief from now on! 😛
