| We smelled some pretty bad grossness when looking at houses. We looked at one where they'd blocked the front door with a couch. I get that as a way to create more space when you're living somewhere, but when you're showing the house, move the damn couch so that the room doesn't scream 'too small for a couch'. The house we bought has an interesting story.... When we looked at it, the owner was there. She was watching soaps & smoking while we walked through. Then she started following us around. She got mad at our agent for turning on the lights in each room. It was really annoying, we couldn't talk openly. But, in the end, the owner being there was actually a blessing. She got really stressed by seeing another couple interested in buying her house (where she'd lived for 30+ years) that she wanted to pull the house off the market. Meanwhile, she had our offer, so she had to decide whether to sell to us or unlist. In the end, she talked to her kids and was reminded why she wanted/needed to sell in the first place and she decided to stop showing, but consider her offer. So in a highly competative buyer's market, we got the house at list with no other offers. However, she remains attached to the house and friends with the neighbours. She comes by every couple of months. At first she would totally tresspass. But now she mostly stays on the neighbours side and looks over at our house. It makes me unconfortable (and glad we changed the locks).

OMG great post! We saw crazy things while house hunting we still talk about it to this day!  We saw like a 30lb CAT! just lying in the middle of someones kitchen...too funny and alot of houses had like ALOT of secret entrances and rooms and I always wonder what for  OH! and we walked through a deserted farm house that was a drug den and there was recipes on the wall for how make it...and LOTS of other stuff that they left behind. It could have been a nice house but I just couldnt sleep knowing all the drug lords that know where the house is

SpringRoad (6/25/2008)
Another house had this pig theme happening. There was pig "art" and pig themed stuff everywhere. My hubby and I were laughing cause we thought they could have de-pigged the house a little before showing it. Then we went to the garage and saw the stacks of boxes labelled "pigs".
It turned out they had already de-pigged the house...
Ahahaha, awesome!!!

we walked through one house that stunk of mold and the realtor tried to tell us the smell was just because the random guy living in the basement had a cat.

Well we saw poop in many locations throughout one house. We understand that someone may have pets... I mean we have a zoo full ourselves but we try our very best to keep a clean house! This house had a chinchilla (tons of poop everywhere and embedded in the yucky brown 1970's carpet that had never been cleaned), and in a few other areas we saw what looked to be possibly cat and dog poop very centrally located in high traffic areas!! I'll never forget that experience and the fact that their real estate agent never even mentioned anything about it like it wasn't there very plainly for everyone to see and possibly step in! (He btw stepped over it very nonchalantly! LOL) Might as well have been a pink elephant for all he could have cared! eww
