I love it but it's filthy and it smells! Next! (edit/delete)

As the CEO of Property Staging Consultants and a Realtor I have seen many many crazy, sick, and dirty things in these peoples homes. When you walk into a home to show your clients you come up on a bathroom that has a brassiere hanging over the shower, a "Don't Use" Sign taped to the top of the Toilet because it's broken, dentures laying out for everyone to see, medicines out in the open, panties on the floor, pet smells or stinky stuff they've left behind, LOL, or even toys laying out?  

This is happening more and more now days. Why is this happening and how can we resolve this simple issue? Tell them to clean their homes. I have several ways of telling them during my listing presentation and I explain the importance of having a clean home and will sometimes show them different situations and the fact that those buyers could have bought this house. It really costs when you don't clean. that possible buyer seeing a clean house would have bought the house now you have additional mortgage, utilities, Realtor fees, and more. All because they didn't clean the house. This also adds to your fees Realtors... It means it's on the market even longer and you are marketing it longer.  

Okay guys and gals. Let's make this fun. Send me your weird, fun and scary situations in the homes you have stumbled upon that you wish you didn't. This will be very interesting to see what's taking place in the minds of the sellers.  I think we will all be surprised laughed out from the comments.
