I've been looking at houses and I can't believe the condition of some of them. Since my house is on the market, I make sure its spotless before I go to work just in case someone comes by before I get home in the afternoon.
I've seen houses with dirty laundry on the bedroom floor, unmade beds with disgusting looking stained sheets, filthy bathrooms and dirty dishes all over the kitchen. Then there are the houses that smell like cat pee. Seriously, you can't have your carpets cleaned for 200 bucks before listing? I could never live in a house once I had a visual of it looking like that. I wonder if realtors even tell their clients to clean the house, because mine had all the agents that came through complete surveys about cleanliness, smell, visual appeal, etc.
The scary thing is, since these filthy homes are on the market, the way the owners live under normal circumstances is probably much worse than what we see. Gross.
