The BEST Virtual Tour EVER!!!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with American Foursquare Realty RM423982

I love strolling through the MLS.  I look at things that might be interesting, even if they are not in a market I serve.

I came upon this Pennsauken, New Jersey listing.  An estate sale.  A challenged listing.  And, boy, did these listing agents rise to the challenge!

This, from the listing remarks:  "This home offers asbestos siding, semi-shingled roof, some lead based paint, knob and tube electric, inground oil tank, broken main joist, boiler system, slat walls and more. The only thing missing is well and septic."

Pure genius!  If you have a house that really ought to be torn down -- play it up!  These folks don't try to hide the home's many faults.  In fact, they play them up on the virtual tour!

You have got to click on the link above.  Wait until the tour goes inside of the house.  The captions are priceless!

Hopefully they had permission from the owners, unless it's an REO, to make the remarks.  Certainly they won't be blamed for puffery.

I don't see any possible way to play this one up!  It looks like a match and a little diesel would be a blessing to put this one out of its misery.

I have never seen this on an MLS...so funny and awful at the same time. I do not think I would take that listing.

Renee - A budding arsonist, I see!  Talk about diversification!

Liz -Luckily it's s\Sunday.  I'm sure your office mates just thought you got a dose of religion.

Diane - i agree.  Why try to put lipstick on a pig.  We enjoy the freshness of complete honesty.

Rebecca - I agree that it would be a tough listing to take.  But SOMEONE has to take it.  And because it's an estate sale, I'm sure you'd be building some life-long clients from that heir pool!
