reo houses: Well, where'd the Pergo go? - 10/10/09 07:35 AM

This is the second home that I've had listed as a foreclosure property from which the Pergo flooring has been removed. It was kinda funny on the first one but this second one makes me wonder if it's easily transportable, sorta like a rug, and can be installed in a minute in someone's … (30 comments)

reo houses: Creative, artistic, great architectural flair BUT deadly?? - 02/23/09 08:39 PM

Drifting out into REO land today I came across another interesting item for my friends on activerain, especially those picky home inspectors that I love, to evaluate.
This is a nice house, actually, and not very old, 4 bedrooms 3 baths, and all the other desirable features that make a house … (46 comments)

reo houses: This house was bad for their health. - 11/25/08 07:33 AM

I crept into a foreclosure this week as we usually do. You never know what you might find.
I really thought that there had perhaps been a fire in the house because of the color of the ceilings and the look of wallpaper in the hall.
After taking my pictures … (20 comments)

reo houses: REO houses are missing lots of light bulbs and I'm making a guess why. - 11/11/08 05:38 PM

I have another REO house to be working up. I visited it and got all the utilities turned on and started trying for lights!
No light bulbs!
Lots of the fans and light fixtures were missing bulbs. This never used to be so common. It you moved the light bulbs were … (30 comments)

reo houses: SOLD!!! The flea house is gone!!! Sold in one month! - 10/10/08 08:26 PM

My blogs have been flea infested for the last month. I had a foreclosure property that was flea infested and I hated that house. The exterminator sprayed it numerous times. They'd still be there.
The appraiser was over there and called me up saying he wouldn't go in because the fleas … (11 comments)

reo houses: Fleas! More fleas! What a battle in this REO house. - 09/03/08 07:23 AM

I've written two blogs about the fleas in this REO house! Yesterday I went to the house after stopping at the Dollar Store and buying 3 flea bombs. I wore my shorts, sprayed my legs and timidly tread through the house to set the bombs off. I put one in the hall, one … (28 comments)

reo houses: Please, please let the fleas be gone. - 08/27/08 06:35 PM

It seems easier somehow to find an REO house already empty. You can call the locksmith, change the locks and proceed trying to get it ready to market. I found one the other day, the locksmith came quickly and secured it.
Back in my office while giving me the bill, he … (18 comments)

reo houses: The power of a letter or a postcard....inspired by Elizabeth's blog. - 08/21/08 07:47 AM

This blog was inspired by Elizabeth Weintraub's blog about getting mail. I read her blog and this incident was still fresh on my mind. (She doesn't need the publicity but she is one of the best bloggers on activerain.)
I had just been assigned this new REO property and was checking it out. The … (21 comments)

reo houses: A little tip for you before you enter suspicious houses. - 11/25/07 08:31 PM

We who do REOs never know what we're going to get into when we go through the front door. That is if there is a front door. Sometimes the doors are gone!
I learned many many years ago to be suspicious of what may jump on your legs as you step … (14 comments)
