But..."I DID IT MY WAY"

Frank Sinatra sang his famous song "MY WAY"....remember? (image by SK, Pixabay)

Frank sang, Mistakes? I made a few...but I did it MY WAY

Well, in real estate that is not always a good thing to do it "MY WAY" as in this example realized when the "MY WAY" home owner decides to sell their home.

"MY WAY" is not always what a home buyer is looking for. Did you notice the "wood like paneling", "reach in closet", "colored appliances" and "natural growth roof". Sure it was done "MY WAY" by the Seller. The good thing? Maybe a buyer can get a good price. Not so good for the "MY WAY" seller.

Sometimes it is just better to buy a home that is built to code in the Phoenix metro area. Hey, I can help you with that as your REALTOR®.

Jeff, this is a clever and engaging post! Using the "My Way" theme and the Sinatra reference is a fun and memorable way to illustrate the pitfalls of overly personalized home designs. The visual example of the "MY WAY" home is effective, highlighting the features that might deter buyers. I appreciate the humorous tone while still conveying a serious message about the importance of marketability. Your advice to buy homes built to code and your offer to help buyers navigate the Phoenix metro area is clear and direct. The numerous links to your MLS search and other resources provide valuable tools for potential clients. Your contact information and call to action are prominent. Overall, it's a creative and informative piece.

Thank you Dennis. Sometimes doing it MY WAY means it is time to take the HIGHWAY. Buy a home build to code is the sure way to go. Jeff

Good afternoon,

I love your creativity in your call to action posts! DOING IT MY WAY is not the best recipe to follow when purchasing a home!

Better to do it the state or county building code's way, I agree Dorie. The song was good though. Jeff 🙂

Yeah, I will take the home actually built to code. What exactly is wood like paneling anyway or a reach in closet- isn't that just a closet?! lol. I think we encounter these owners in every market. I know one of my colleagues helped a buyer purchase an apartment on Park Avenue that had a built in stage and Stripper pole...obviously that all needed to go. A lot of these Park Avenue and 5th Avenue buildings have strict (read ridiculous) rules around renovating- i.e. renovations could only happen during the summer months when most owners are out of town and my colleague helped the buyer to get the board to allow the owner to bypass Summer Rules- because the board hated the thought of a built in stage with stripper role in their building. 

On a separate note, my great Uncle was roommates with Frank Sinatra before he became famous. They were both musicians getting their lives started. Sinatra became one of the greats...my great uncle had some sort of medical complication which limited his musical career.

Hi Adam. I never had a stripper pole lisitng, but I did show a home with buried traain cars as an Arizona hideway party hide out wtih a bar, pool tables, ping pong tables, games and TVs. It dates back to the Cuban Missle Crisis in the 1960s as a safe haven, now a fun hang out in the back of a 10 acre estate.....By the way, it is great to have a "Cool Uncle". Jeff
