Comparative Market Analyses and Broker Price Opinions are common tasks to most Realtors®.  We strive to find the closest comparables possible and are used to making adjustments for the differences that seem unavoidable.  We see a lot things, pretty and not so pretty.

And then every once in a while we come across a property that is just "one of a kind" with no other comparables coming even close. 

This was the case with this old house I came across the other day during an interior BPO.  You know how the saying goes, "one man's trash is another's treasure", someone may have taken that a little too far with this one! 

I hesitated even entering the house and circled the outside first before venturing in.  After I made it out alive, I feel this is an experience worth sharing.

Look! This home comes with a car!

I wonder if 'shed living' will become all the rage?  This is the master bedroom suite:

Tough for even the most creative and imaginative buyers to see the potential in a home like this. I hope for the sake of the neighborhood that it sells and gets cleaned up quickly.

Start with a roll-off dumpster.  I've had some where anything which could be removed was taken.  This includes hot water tanks, toilets, kitchen cabinets, electrical fixtures, and the list continues .....  It gets beyond disgusting when animals have been left in the house.

Had one where the owner went through foreclosure leaving the house in total disrepair with plans that the lender would rehab it and she could have a relative repurchase the remodeled house for her.

The ones that hurt are those where all belongs were left behind including family photos and children's toys and clothes.

Hi Silvia... I am embarrassed to say that after 6 years as a short sale specialist that I have seen worse, but not much worse!

Lou, you are right!

John, the neighborhood is actually quite nice, this house is its sore spot.

Richard, I figure two dumpster loads.  I figure there must have been squatters at one time.

Steve, I never understand the excuse for filth.

Tony and Darcy, I know what they didn't take! lol

Silvia - These are the posts you hope the people that say that a Realtor makes too much money read in their entirety. If they only knew the half of what we deal with! I bet the neighbors will be glad when this gets sold and cleaned out. Good luck.

Hi Sylvia, A very good photo story. Funny too at the same time. I could tell you that I have seen worse but actually only once or twice. So what's next with this property? A clean out, clean  and fix up? The car is interesting and would expect it can be restored, LOL. Jags are my favorite.

Judy, yes, unfortunately we get to see it all. 

William, I appreciate the comment about the car, I think right now it's the best feature! 

I do think as soon as a trash out is performed, someone will pick this house up for a small price to fix up and resell or use as a rental property. The ones that look the worst often have the best potential!

I think you have some former Southern California residents; that's definitely a Southern California garage. LOL
