Buyer Beware!
By 
Introduction
The home I live in is the fifth house my husband and I have owned. So, we have worked with our share of real estate agents over the years. This is a guide for those who are house hunting. When your real estate agent says..... he really means........
1
beachfront property
in the path of all major hurricanes
2
fixer-upper
declared dangerous and uninhabitable by building inspector
3
in a quaint neighborhood
currently being used as a crack house
4
peaceful and secluded
in the middle of nowhere
5
location, location, location
outrageously overpriced
6
historical home
no air conditioning and needs a new furnace, new wiring, new water heater, and new plumbing
7
view of the river
basement floods at least four times a year
8
wooded property
expect lots of mosquitoes and horseflies
9
a real gem
real estate agent could find absolutely nothing of interest to say about this house
10
cute and cozy
extremely small, cramped, and no closet space
11
nature retreat
regularly invaded by raccoons, snakes, groundhogs, and skunks
12
seller says, "Make me an offer!"
property has been on market forever and is about to be foreclosed by bank
13
just needs a few decorating touches
inside walls are all painted day-glo orange and there is orange shag carpeting throughout
14
You'll be caught up in its charm!
It's in tornado alley.
15
with a unique history
It's the site where a murder took place, and it is rumored to be haunted.
Thanks for this one! I am sending to my youngest daughter who is getting married and house hunting later in the year. You can't know too much about what you are buying...no matter the hype!
Our first home was 800 sq. feet. We bought it in 1977 for 19,000 and sold it in 1981 for 31,000! (in Kansas City)
The trunk of a giant pin oak occupied the entire front yard.
We painted the outside in a weekend.
.....Your list apparently brought back memories! Good ones! :-)
