REO Trash Out - Lessons Learned
Awhile back I got a new REO listing. It evolved from a Short Sale Listing I had. You can read all about it from some of my past blogs, especially related to Squatters. Never a dull moment, it seems.
I met the guys from Junk King at the property today. I had a 2 hour window with them. 1 to 3pm. Of course they got there at 2:45pm. What a day to hang out in Antioch, CA. The temp was kind of chilly in SF today, in the 60's. In Antioch it was 85 on the car outside temp. Good thing the house had been closed up, so it was still cool inside.
I have to give them credit, they did a good job and came in with a price of $480 for 3/4 truck full, when they had estimated 2/3. So gave me a discount. Total price was $438.
Their delay in arriving took up all my afternoon. I left home at noon, I got home at 6:30pm. When we were done they stood around talking like they were my best buddies. They had done a good job. I got the impression they were hoping for a tip. Sorry. Had no cash in my wallet. If the company had condoned a tip, they might have offered an opportunity to add it to the bill. Just saying.
At any rate, the home is now ready to go on market. 4 Bedrooms, Bonus room, Family room, Loft space, quarter acre lot, 3360 sq. ft. Somewhere around $380,000. Great deal. Great neighborhood. Pictures, before and after.
