I know you are thinking that either I am lying, crazy or a combination of the 2, but I know for a fact, that a former chicken coop was listed on our MLS and possibly even sold at one time.
No, I was not the offending agent who took this listing. I have taken some pretty poor listings in my day including manufactured homes on rented lots (Never again!) but this one really took the cake.
An agent in the office I was with at the time had this crazy listing in the worst area of Nampa, Idaho, also known as North Nampa, where all the wanna be gangsters hung out, sprayed their gang symbols on anything they could find and generally underachieve wherever they saw fit. On our Tuesday tour of homes that day as a young rookie agent for RE/MAX Nampa/Caldwell, I saw the worst listing I've ever seen.
Not that this wasn't a clean and tidy chicken coop. The only major flaw I saw that it had was a burn mark on the indoor/outdoor carpet in the perfect shape of an iron. So I guess they had been ironing clothes on the reasonably flat and straight chicken coop floor.
Anyway, as far as I can recall, this thing was listed under $50k and obviously had been made habitable. There was at least 1 indoor bathroom, plus whatever the lot size was. The ceilings weren't quite up to code, but they were at least 6 ft. as far as I could tell, and it did have a few windows to go along with the one door. There were no chickens present that day, but I am sure it would have made quite the bachelor pad for Foghorn Leghorn or Howard the Duck.
Anyway, what is the strangest thing you have ever seen listed on YOUR MLS? I want to know if anyone has seen anything worse or more interesting then this!
