Seven Cluttered Bedrooms

January 27th, 2012 · No Comments

Is there an excuse for cluttered bedrooms when selling a house?  You can’t blame it on lack of money or lack of time.  It costs nothing to clear out stuff.  And take the photo after you had time to clean it up.

The plastic shopping bags hanging on the wall are a nice decorating touch.

Well they did organize everything into one corner.

They did clear off the bed and made it, at least.

The dust on the TV is impressive.

Thanks for straightening up for us. We appreciate it.

Closets are overrated.  Let’s put a bed in there instead.  They don’t have time to wash their dog; notice the soiled blanket and the soiled edge of the mattress.

WARNING:  Don’t look at these photos before eating.

Foreclosure home with lots of filth and garbage.  Cleaning was not a priority.

One of the most disgusting bathrooms we’ve seen in a long time.  Unbelievable.  [Click on photo for full size.]  Does it make you feel pity or contempt?

Outdated Entertainment Centers

January 26th, 2012 · No Comments

We’ve seen worse.  Here are seven more entertainment centers/media niches.

When you want to dominate an entire room.

They take up a lot of space.  And today’s TVs aren’t as deep.  I have buyers turn up their noses at these monsters; they don’t like them.  “How can we get rid of them?”, they ask.  With a sledgehammer.

These media niches were built to old specifications for TVs.  Now you’re forced to use a different niche for today’s TVs and hope the TV doesn’t fall down.

Lots of wasted space.

Functionally obsolete.  Can’t even work with today’s TVs.  Now it becomes a knick-knack display case.

Who has a TV that narrow, that tall, and that deep anymore?

Neglected home sold as a short sale in January 2012 for $13,000.  Looks like someone didn’t care.

Poorly Planned Portland Porcelain

How many beers did they have before laying tile in this Portland, Oregon home??!  They couldn’t afford the $4 for a bag of tile spacers?  Did they find leftover tile in an alley?

Cats & Dogs

Is this how you attract buyers?  Or attract flies?  Gross.

Same house.  Let the hoarding begin.

Same house.  Cats dominate the home.  They’re hoping all house hunters love cats.

Tempe, Arizona House Fire Complicated By Hoarding

January 25th, 2012 · 2 Comments

Yesterday, a Tempe, Arizona home, filled knee-high with empty beer cans, cardboard, and clutter caught on fire.  A space heater is blamed.  The 47-year-old resident was not home at the time.  Fire fighters could not enter the home, blocked by clutter.  The Huffington Post made a 1:30 minute video synopsis of news reports in their post here.

This photo is not that house.  This is a Phoenix home for sale.  It shows a bedroom following a fire.  Sad.
