Temecula Bank Owned Home....Morgan Hill Bank Owned Home

Real Estate Broker/Owner with Realty Works Temecula BRE No: 01233850

This one has a very noticeable urine smell.  Needs new flooring and the concrete will need to be treated with bleach....found the remedy below, on the Internet....

 

"I bought a house at a GREAT PRICE....way below appraisal because the owners had cats that were allowed to use the house as one giant litter box. Realtors in the area refused to show this house because of the horrific odor. The house was "for sale by owner". We found this house and bought it! It was built on concrete slab so the urine was in the concrete. Pulled all the carpet OUT..and mixed 1 gallon of bleach to two gallons of water (used about 10 gallons of bleach total) and we flung the water/bleach mixture all over the concrete and swept it in. Did each room and then cleaned up the walls 3 ft with water/bleach concoction. 

End of story..all the odor was gone. The concrete was deordorized..sanitized and the new carpet was then installed. I have been in this house now for 18yrs..with no problems with odors! 
This tip was offered by my brother in law that has a business cleaning up apts/houses. He told me to do this when I called him for advice after buying this house".

Jane ~  I admit I am guilty of not showing the homes with the horrible smells, you know the kind that make you feel dirty when you walk-in. But now that I have a solution to offer buyers I may not be so quick to pass them by. thanks

That is a deal for such great bones in this house, You are right you can get rid of the smell and have a great value.

Kristal:  It's a little unnerving while you are in there but this area is a really good area and buying below appraised value always takes some extra work on the part of the buyer but sometimes it is worth the extra effort.

 

Kim:  Thanks, and yes for the right house in the right area it can be well worth it.
