Default Open house inspections

Has anybody had some laughs at open house inspections? Some of the houses we went to see must of had wonderful photograpers Because it wasnt the same house we viewed My OH and I would walk round trying to be polite (Thats the British in us) but cracking up inside and wiping your feet on the way out. My pal still goes to a few just to have a laugh Any stories please tell

When we first got here in OZ, one of the first home opens we went to i laughed at the 'family bathroom'..i said 'is that a doggy bath?'

It was so small the bath and low down that i thought they were for dogs. Couldn't imagine getting in it. Also i often thought in alot of the houses..'where's the rest of the kitchen cupboards'

Took us ages to find a house with a decent sized bath.

Saw a house full of corn dollies, witch dolls (some suspended from the ceiling on broomsticks and a teddy bear being crucified on a cross that was hung on the wall.

Another one where the owners teen daughter was in the outdoor spa with some friends during a house open.

But the best (worst) one was when we walked into the house and the agent said "Be careful when you go into the garden, there's alot of dog mess on the grass"

Maybe the vendors were surprised the Poms needed a bath ...

I don't think too many folk will be able to find fault with your place........... they will be blown away by its splendour.............. which is probably why you bought it in the first place!!!
