BofA REO............ Oh, the smell........................

BofA REO............
Oh, the smell........................

I went to preview some properties today, one of which was advertised as an REO by Bank of America.

Wasn't really sure I wanted to go there, but the location and price are right for my Clients.

When I got there, the lawn and bushes were manicured, the outside had been painted, and it looked like there was a new front door.

Not too suprising about the lawn and bushes because many cities here now require that foreclosures be kept in good condition, at least from the exterior, in order not to bring blight and decreased property values to the neighborhood.

With trepidation, I opened the front door. The smell was....

....

....

....

refreshing!

They had installed new carpet throughout the house except in the kitchen and the two bathrooms, where they had installed tile.

There were new toilets, new stove, new microwave, new dishwasher.

Is this a result of global warming? East coast earthquakes? New York hurricanes?

What is the world coming to?
