Wouldn’t bother me. So a bunch of people had sex in a house. Hhmmm I think pretty much every house has had sex acts performed in it. I bet even new houses had sex acts in it before it was purchased.
So ridiculous! We rented houses in the Malibu Colony, a couple of summers, as a prelude to buying a homesite in Malibu. It proved an effective networking ploy. We made a good many friends. One night, the conversation turned to houses used as porn locations. Everybody could name several, and a couple of people (who also owned houses in the Hollywood/Beverly/Bel Air hills), could name films or bodybuilders that had been filmed/photographed in their own homes, before they bought them.
Basically, if you have an interesting-looking older home in the LA area (20s - 80s), chances are, it's been used for a porn shoot. People have been renting (or lending) exotic-looking homes, since the early days of the industry. Frequently, photos taken by Gay "Physique Photographers", have turned out to be the best documentation of a lot of the more spectacular old LA estates, with their original landscaping. The skuzzier "Jetsons/Brady Bunch" looking homes, were rented/lent for the skuzzier porn productions.
And on the OTHER coast (Atlantic), the current revival and study of Minimalist Modernist beach architecture, has been aided by all the porn shoots at Fire Island houses. People keep the films. People keep the photos. I'm not sure WHY someone would bother to replicate the original linoleum, when restoring a 70s beach house. But they CAN, because there it is, under that body-part close-up detail of "Roger" - in a darkroom-made original photo from somebody's treasured personal collection.
As for the "Wifey" series... In our three decades of sporadic searching (as in, every few years, when we're stuck in a hotel room, and bored out of our minds), "Wifey" is practically the ONLY erotic product that we haven't found to be unspeakably tacky and repulsive. Basically, it's a decent-looking mature woman, doing NORMAL things, with her spectacular muscle-bull of a husband. I'm glad to know his name: OTTERSON. Sexy.... A big, massive Scandinavian. For me, his having been in the house, would be an enhancement, rather than a negative.

based on the short article, I can't imagine someone capable of buying a $1.8MM house that couldn't afford new counters.
Sounds like a textbook case of buyer's remorse, now how can I get out from under this without losing money
Regardless of how you feel about the buyer's concern, as an agent, I would think you'd have more understanding that the buyer's perceived problems with this are not literally about the kitchen counters.
Buyer's remorse is magnified when things are discovered later. buyer's don't like surprises.
I wonder if she had a buyer's agent and why that wasn't brought to her attention. Since apparently it was the regular set for a well known series, I would expect a buyer's agent to know this and to inform their buyer.
My personal view is that I wouldn't have a problem with a house that was used in some random porn shoots but apparently this was a well known porn series with this house as the set. It also appears that there was a big controversy about this house/business in the local area. So it's a very well known house. I generally don't care what people think but it would get tiring to always be known as 'that house'. Since this is a planned type community, there are likely many similar houses to buy.
I would probably fire my buyer's agent and try to get out of this as well. And if my buyer's agent tried to tell me that because I'm paying 1.8m for the house I should be able to afford to replace the "compromised" countertops, I would be very concerned that he has no clue about anything and his ability to empathize (whether he agrees or disagrees with me) is nonexistent.
I think it's hilarious. What goes on in any house you buy? more stories to tell......
well you can reasonably expect you're not buying a horror house unless disclosed as such
