As an agent you see a few things, as an appraiser you see more and better things. As a foreclosure appraiser you see the best of the best. Black mold, rats, human depravity....all in a day's work. The really disturbing thing here though is that someone will buy this home - some knowing the issues, others with no clue about the past of the home they just have to have.
Here's an Atlanta foreclosure video to check out - this one caught me by the nose - literally. This one kicks you in the face the second the door opens; after about two or three minutes my eyes were watering, nose burning and chest feeling heavy. Not only did this Atlanta foreclosure have a great black mold infestation, it was also completely vandalized. But wait....there's more!
This place had squatters are using it as a crash house. There was a bucket of chicken, a few beer bottles and fresh pack of cigs in one of the bedrooms. Sweet set up....have a look and enjoy. Of course there's no joy for buyers that fail to consider the pitfalls of buying distressed homes. This was a rough home but there are others...visit the other hit parade foreclosure homes right here - FORECLOSURE VIDEOS
