Sold “As Is, Where Is, And With All Its’ Faults???

[Bunny Meadows]

Thanks to both of you! I had a feeling it was boilerplate – just wasnt sure.

I suppose it’s to let “picky” buyers know that the front door wont be fixed, cracks in the wall, etc.

I’ve been shocked at the condition of some of the repos I’ve seen – I mean, like banisters ripped off the staircase, holes in the wall, sinks pulled out. It’s just sad. If I was in a foreclosure/repo situation, I’d be sad and disappointed, but I wouldnt trash the place.

My husband has pointed out that if we look at a house that is/around 10 years old, we have to be aware that things like the furnace or a/c may need to be replaced, etc. The normal things that break down around that time.

Thanks so much for your replies. You guys are GREAT!

bunny kisses,

Bunny

See the trashing thing is what I’m afraid of when considering a repo. I mean, what if the previous owners poured concrete down sinks or did some other low down stuff to the house that you have to fine using a fine tooth comb. Do people do this a lot? I mean if they wanted to be sneaky, couldn’t they do some stuff you may not find for months? Like maybe urinating on closet walls or something? Not trying to be funny, but it gives me the creeps. This is the same rationale I have for wanting a brand new home: I won’t be buying anyone’s problems. Does anybody else have the same concerns that I do?

marion: Your concerns are very legitimate. The other aspect to consider with bank REOs is this: The banks are literally being inundated with foreclosures right now, and simply don’t have the time to assess the status of each house thoroughly.

We had a foreclosure on our street that the new owners bought from the bank. I spoke with the wife and she said the outgoing owners had blitzed the place prior to eviction. Broken windows, torn up carpet, paint splashed on the walls, etc. When she spoke to the rep at the bank, he told her he had spent a grand total of 15 minutes at the house, because he had over a dozen other houses to look at that day. We’re in Fallbrook, and he was handling Fallbrook, Vista, part of Oceanside, Temecula, Murrieta and Menifee. One guy.

What you see is truly what you get.

I have seen a repo that has foul smell and cracks and termite-infiltrated decks. The overall outlook was fine but you never can tell what the previous owner had done that is hidden.
