Why would anybody show a house in that deplorable condition. A neighbor said the owner has 2 or 3 other houses in TV. I am still shaking my head at what I saw.
This brought back the old days when I was a Real Estate Broker. There are many people who live in dirty houses and don't seem to realize how to stage a house for sale.

It is to your benefit if you see a fabulous house in a great neighborhood , golf course view, pool, etc., that shows poorly.
You should be able to snap it up for a good price due to lack of offers (many people can't see past cosmetics).
You can have professional cleaners in, get the house painted, and you end up sitting in a palace with a pool, hot tub and golf course view. And located in a wonderful neighborhood.
