How Long Do You Think It Will Take To Sell This 

Bed & Breakfast?

You never know. Stuff like this can turn off a lot of buyers, making it easier to swoop in and snatch up a deal!

Hi Nathan Gesner - I never followed the sale! But it took a long time to sell. My guess is that is exactly what happened.

Good morning Sheri Sperry - MCNE® ,

This is bizarre...I'd find it creepy sleeping in that room. You have to think what would appeal to the masses not what you like.

So true Dorie Dillard - Each room is decorated as a theme from early 20th century but this would not be something I would certainly choose!

Sheri, all I can say is WOW.   Why would the listing agent not tell them to remove these, so distracting and awkward!

Hi Joan, You have the wonder. Usually it is an uncooperative seller, who just won't budge.

Good morning again Sheri. I agree it is a little creepy with the puppets above the bed, but the bathroom is nice here.

Hi Sheila Anderson - Yes it is creepy!

Sheri, I instantly got chills looking at those puppets. No thank you! I'm surprised it only took over two years to sell, I thought it may still be on the market.

Eventually a buyer knows that they are getting a good deal and can see right through those puppets!

That certainly would need a specific audience and it sounds like it needed some work, from the previous comments.

Hi Sheri-- not only the puppets but the image in the mirror too....

Hi Michael, that is me!  I was on a tour of the B&B and just snapped a quick pic! LOL!

It reminds be of a "Victorian B&B" I stayed in thatw as so over the top I never wanted to go back. I think decluttering that starts with the puppets is a good idea.

Hi Sheri - Back in the olden times, when I had a commercial brokerage, B&B's were a specialty and I once had 7 of them listed at the same time. They take a long time to sell, even if they don't have puppets.

Sheri Sperry - MCNE®

LOL Dick Greenberg - It takes a special buyer who is willing to put in the work and the hours.

Hi Sheri

Well that's more than a bit odd as a theme, at least for me personally. I can see why this was a tough one to sell, although I don't think B and B's move quickly anyhow. But no doubt there are some who stayed there who loved it. Glad to hear it DID sell and has been redecorated. Guess the puppets did not convey!!

Ha! Ha! - Yes I am sure they did not convey Jeff Dowler !

I've never really been drawn to puppets.  I guess there have been too many creepy horror movies that involve them over the years!

I Myrl Jeffcoat  - I could never get them to work. It takes a special talent!

If the bed and breakfast is profitable . . . . It won't take long.

Good luck and success.

Ho Lou Ludwig - The view is breathtaking from this vantage point. Sedona is in the distance and the red rocks stand out.

I'd remove all those puppets, dolls and artificial flowers before taking any pictures or showings.

Sherry- there was an old Twilight Zone or something like that years ago involving ventriloquist and his dummy.  Since them, those things and puppets give me the willies.

There are a lot of episodes of Twilight Zone that gave me the willies! Ha Ha!

Oh no Sheri Sperry - MCNE®,  I think I've had that Nightmare Before and I wouldn't want to face it in person...

So creepy. How do people sleep in that room? Not exactly the emotional and visual appeal a buyer is looking for!

As in all tihings, find the right buyer and it's gone in a day.   Not everyone likes the puppets.

Is this really a B&B? It looks like a guest room that might not be used very often. I'd have a hard time sleeping in the room, but as a real estate "professional", it wouldn't keep ME from buying the house if all other considerations were in place. Still, very interesting!!!
