You’ve GOT To Be Kidding Me!
June 8th, 2007 Categories: Random Thoughts
T.G.I.F. (Thank Goodness It’s Friday– yeah it’s a little different than the original version)
This is my very first Punchy Friday post so it may not be quite what I intend for a Punchy Friday post. I guess with practice it may evolve and offer it’s own personality.
Anyway, here’s my post, short as it is:
‘You’ve Got To Be Kidding Me!’
I overheard some agents talking in the office this week. Apparently someone had been speaking with a seller at a listing appointment and the seller told the agent the property had a guesthouse.
The agent looked surprised. She had pulled the county records and there was no indication of a second structure. When they went outside she discovered the ‘Guest House’ was actually a Teds Sheds shed that had been put up on concrete blocks. Ahhhhhh, all the comforts of home. 
And we’re supposed to keep a straight face as we take buyers through the property and point out the guest house?

It really is amazing some of the “amenities” our sellers expect us to market.
I showed a house yesterday that was supposed to have six bedrooms but we could only find 4. After a call to the listing agent he said the seller insisted that the downstairs family rooms could be split into two more bedrooms so he listed it as 6 bedrooms.
I just stopped by after adding your link to my “Ripening on the Real Estate Tomato Vine” post.
Maggie - Quite impressive - I’m so happy things are going well for you. Hope we can catch up soon. Missed you yesterday - but you were there in spirit.
Maggie,
I’ve seen a few sheds that have been fixed up quite nicely w/ electric, A/C. tiled floors, water, etc. But yes, “guest house” can be quite the relative term.
