Broker Babble: What’s YOUR Definition of Tender Loving Care? Dallas Real Estate Noose…

Share News:

God, this place is cheap: $29,500 for a condo over in Vickery/Meadows, south of Walnut Hill Lane. 5815 Phoenix Drive, two bedrooms, two baths, no pool but a private hot tub!!! (I am so psyched!!!) HOA dues are $280 a month (WTF?)  1175 square feet at 5815 Phoenix Drive. It’s very close to Presby and all the new medical growth going on over there, so would make a great investor rental. And at this price, you could practically put it on your Mastercard for 29,500 advantage miles. But still, folks, tell me: if the house is $29K or $29 million, shouldn’t you clean up for the photos? I mean, come on. At least get the clothes out of the closet and maybe put on some doors? What is this, a new season of Hoarders? What are all those soap and sanitary dispenser thingees in the bathroom — do we have to wash our hands every five minutes because we’ve been in that inviting spa? And I love cameos of agents or photographers in the mirror. Well, at least he was wearing clothes!

I did not post the laundry room/closet — my eyes need a vacation! Think I’ll have a nice glass of wine on the patio — care to join me?

    Oh my god that is DISGUSTING. It would cost half of what they're asking just to clean that mess up enough to be presentable!

    No photos at all would be better.
    If the seller will not make a reeasonable presentation, just list the price.

    Oh my goodness. Was this agent for real? I agree either clean the place up a bit or pass on the photos. YECK!!!
    I saw a local listing where the master bathroom picture had a big fluffy cat sitting on the edge of the bathtub. Are you serious? You just eliminated any prospective buyers that are allergic to cats. Amateurs.

    you should send this post to a Barbara Corcoron on The Today Show for a "real estate deals" excerpt. What an atrocity but great PR for your blog:). Shameful!!!! Suggestion for listing agent… Tell CSS to advise showing agents to wear Hazmat gear when showing.

    Plus the agent is only offering 35% of the bank negotiated commission! Why bother to list it?
