According to an article on Yahoo:

Dirt
Odors
Old Fixtures
Wallpaper
Popcorn acoustic ceilings
Too many personal items
Snoopy sellers
Misrepresenting your home
Poor curb appeal
Clutter

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/10-ways-turn-off-homebuyer-070118154.html

Nowhere on that list did it mention headless barbie dolls hanging by nooses from the ceiling in a bedroom that was painted black... when I was selling my house 12 years go, one of the prospective buyers described this to me when I apologized for the unicorns on my daughter's wallpaper border.

Quote: "The No. 1 biggest mistake is not getting the home in the best possible condition. That's huge," says Goldwasser.

Yeah, that's huge. "Dirty" describes 90% of housing under half a million $$$ in the bay area.

"I won't even represent sellers at this point unless they are fully aware of how important it is to get their home in the absolute best condition that they've ever had it in."

Need more realtors with values like that in Cali.

Nah - we need LESS realtors. Don't give a shit what their supposed values are.

I thought Paypal didn't charge a commission if the money were a gift. Patrick, maybe you could take the donation and then forward it on to the poster with no extra charge, if this is true.

'The House That's Dragging Me To Hell!', right?

Is that similar to the Amityville Horror?

Pretty sure that's not true. Paypal charges exactly the same commission on gifts like donations. They sure charge me!

Let me know if I'm wrong about that. I'd be delighted to be wrong.

With no competitors Paypal has gone worst.

Yes but much, much worse: the Amityville Horror didn't come with Realtors®

The Amityville house would be great for the banks, since the house does the "foreclosing" (destroying the occupants) all by itself!
