    This charming highbank riverfront home was a remodel without King County permits applied for. K. C. recently informed the seller that a shoreline variance must be performed before K. C. will sign off on the remodel; estimated time poss. 2yrs. @worst. Est. cost could run 30,000- 40,000.

    Ouch. I don't think there's a bigger turn-off than bureaucratic red tape. I'll pass on that one.

  • My rough guess is that it would take $100T to fix this place up to very nice move-in condition (high rise remodels are expensive), plus the loss of use and HOA's during the process. IMHO if someone offers $300T the bank should cut and run, $275 would be a fair offer.
    =

    It's listed as "pending"

    I dont see a $100 in damage. Floring through the whole unit would be less than $10k for nice floors, plus another $10 in high end appliances.
  • This is what I would call a great addition to the field of agents.
    Maybe he is so busy with his cleaning job or bartending, no time to focus on pictures. MLS no 29159950 Call this one "This house is so good, I took pictures driving by it"

    Oh man, I think we have a contender for all-time best.

    WOW.

    Impressive. Literally took the pics while driving by. I guess that's the fast-paced world of real estate.
    I know of a 6+ acre parcel with a mobile fairly close to that one, and it recently sold for half the price.
  • Looks like a pre-foreclosure pic where the agent is afraid the owner will come out with a shotgun. It's like a car repo...the owners can get pretty nasty. Guys who do REOs in some areas never get out of the car.

    Not saying this is one of those as I did not check the mls #. But a common trait of REO specialists is don't get out of the car until they foreclose and vacate the owner. Often dangerous work.
  • There's no topping the drive-by pictures, but I thought the tiny little pictures in this listing were cute.

    Oh my.

    No, seriously.

    The two exterior shots are quite the gems, as well.
  • I just feel like this thread needs to be revived.

    Impressive... um... chair you've got there?

    Is the giant painted mouth somehow indicative of what takes place inside that particular structure?

    That one was so great they decided to put it on the listing twice.
  • From that last one, "MUST CALL TENANT. Lock gate. Careful with Dogs that are on lease."

    Yeah. Like I'm gonna just walk in there unannounced. Then again, I could understand people thinking it's abandoned.
  • The dogs are on lease?
    I can see renting houses, but dogs?
  • Dogs are leasing the place. Desperate landlords and all. If they can pay, they can stay.
  • Honestly, I can't believe the number of listing agents that don't take the time or small expense to have professional photos taken.

    Even for the crummiest of homes, professional photography goes a LONG way! :shock:

    Every LA should at least consider Vicaso in Seattle (http://www.vicaso.com). No, I'm not an owner :P
  • This is the sole photo for 20702 54th Ave W Lynnwood.

    Peek-a-boo!
  • Well that's what you get with a "limited service" listing agent. It's a HUD home, sold "as is".

    Pretty sad when the agent can't even get out of the car. Looks like a cute house.
  • One photo listings? Not getting out of the car for the pic? How about not even taking the picture?

    The commission is only going to be $5,000. Come on, would you bother taking a picture for only $5,000? </sarcasm>

    Well hey at least they didn't try to green it up with MS Paint.

    I guess these guys must have caught on that people were poking fun of their MS Paint green fence. So they uploaded a new picture:

    see this gem.

    from this listing.
    Great home with large, open kitchen, nice dining room and living room with gas fireplace, open bonus room area upstairs. Large room sizes throughout house and fully fenced back yard. Sold as-is. Move right in. You may want to paint one of the closets.

    Edit: I should point out that the reason this is really here.

    All other other photos of the house look nice and clean. It's like they cleaned and painted the place for sale, but forgot this one closet.. and didn't bother to fix it.

    I see some brick, and some siding, and some gutters, and a window or two, but I can't tell how they all fit together from the picture.
    29034015_3.jpg

    It's about as well thought out as their description, which is a must read. It's worth it to learn about the "HUGER and SAFE fecned back yard."

    The prices in that new development should be a wakeup call to some sellers in the area.

    Yea.. should be.. but there's been a lot of things which should be a wakeup call..
  • Hmmm sold for $350K in 2007, now it can be yours for only $375k! See the listing.
  • I like how they put in both the fish eye and the normal lense photo of the same place...

    Note: this listing is FSBO
  • I'm not even sure that's not an effect rather than a true wide angle lens. Notice how the 'wide angle' shot actually includes less of the image.

    Fail.
