Ugliest Home I Ever Sold

by Sherri 13. April 2009 12:18

Believe it or not every home does sell at the right price. If a home is on the market and doesn't sell a price reduction will always do it!

The ugliest home I ever sold was a black house with  concrete walls running down sides between the owners and the neighbors. The walls were ugly but at least provided a shield for the neighbors of the back yard which was filled with unbelievable paraphenalia. A lean to had a sign on it proclaiming it Pop's Shop and a cage was built with dummies dressed in safari clothing inside. The seller worked for a concrete company and had concrete everywhere and had built two staircases that went to the roof. Why is anyones guess.

It sold cheap and the buyer used it as a rental for a short time. Approximately a year. Every tenant had numerable problems. Drug (police raids), stabbings, etc.    Needless to say the new owner put it back on the market after many changes and updates and was relieved to be rid of it.

The moral of this story is that he still turned a profit!!

Home purchases are good investments.
