DO you like this bathroom?

By

I bet you thought you were going to see a picture of my new bank owned listing. A dirty shower with paint peeling off the ceiling? Not this time... Maybe tomorrow. For now I have a question on this bathroom. A classic New England feel with a claw foot tub.

 

It looks amazing, clean, modern with a touch of history. Out of the picture is a stand up glass shower in the corner. The questions of the day is this practical? Does it add value to a home? Does it add desirability to the home?

 

 

IN SUMMARY the answer may be, "was it built for the seller to enjoy or was it built to fix and re-sell?" Did it meet the sellers needs? Well no, it actually was remodeled to re-sell. Therefore it may depend on the buyer most likely to buy this home. Most likely it will be a family. So how will it work with a family of 4 or 5 with 3 kids all wanting to make tidal waves in the bath tub? 

 

IN THE END this investor remodeled the home before we met. He spend a lot of money. More than he should. After many long talks and feedback from buyers, the investor learned a lesson. He sure wished he met me earlier. We did get the home sold. He learned a lesson on remodeling a home towards the most potential buyers. The good thing is there will be a next one. He will buy using my guidance. He will fix the next one and list back for me to sell it. We had a happy buyer and a happy seller.

 

 

THE BOTTOM LINE is to know how important it is that every Buyer or Seller should not just choose any agent, choose the BEST agent for the job. Having an agent that works for you is a must. Support your local businesses. 

 

My philosophy is simple, provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process. All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. Those that hire me, find a dedication like no other.

Those with families often want to a tub to bathe the kids. Adults, young and old often prefer a shower. Now having played rugby and being active I have to say I would love a deep bath to soak in when my legs ache from a long walk.

They spend alot on the tub for sure Scott but that is okay, looks clean and will sell fast.

I think it shows pride in ownership and adds class to any Home. I would hope that it added value if not just a reason to buy...

Happy Tuesday morning Scott Godzyk

I'm also relieved to see a clean bathroom. I was worried. :)  The tub is charming. FYI, there was one in our home but we had it removed. They really aren't practical for most people, but they are attractive.

Hi Scott- I know some people want at least one tub in their home, but for many of us, it's that big thing we have to keep clean. I've consulted with families who were planning on remodeling then moving down the road and they were smart to make sure that investments they made wouldn't hinder them down the road.

Good afternoon Scott Godzyk - certainly nice bathroom but has limited appeal.

I would absolutely love having that bathroom, Scott!  It looks immaculately clean, and the bathtub reminds me of one we had when I was a kid.

I am tall and love these types of tubs, but stand alone with no protections from kids splashing, moms tend to not like them so much Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543

It does look beautiful Will Hamm but with his most likely buyer a family, many moms balked at the lack of a tub surround for the spashing kids.

I waa trying for a catchy title Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD . Yes it looks great, but every mom who looked mentioned the potential mess wth kids in this kind of tub

That is a must to do Kathy Streib but many only think about tody and not the future value

Hello Scott - "It Depends" is a true response. In this situation and in so many real-life everyday examples.  In and away from real estate.
