Mickey Mouse Law School Lady is a regular one in reruns. I really have no words for how much Mickey Mouse decor she managed to cram into the townhouse, complete with Mickey-shaped topiary for the back patio.

You don't want to see neighbors houses, then you do not move to a development, and it makes me laugh because when they get out of the car, you would think she would already know that other homes would be in view.

.....and please, kill me when the chick sees the walk in closet that is bigger than my foyer and looks to the husband and says, where will your clothes go???

I think the lines are rehearsed because the DH says, I like the way the hardwood flows, key word, flows all through the house.....


oh, and they did pick that house too, i guess she will be bricking up here windows so she can't see the neighbors houses.
I felt like smacking her.

You had to see the dump they were living in and she was complaining??????

but the appliances are old, Correct me if I am wrong but if a home is 4 years old, how the appliance be old.......

I have to say, though some of the comments are getting pretty repetative.....

of course there is a lot of natural light, I don't know how many types of light the sun gives off......
Good list - and if I hear another 20-something say "that's dated" to every fixture of the house (even though it's relatively new house), I'm gonna throw hard candy at them!

The International ones make me LOL when Americans ask questions and the European realtors reply in such a way as to imply "stupid!"

Example: American family moving to France and complained about every little thing that was un-American. At one point the lady looked at an upstairs bedroom for the children. There was no screen on the window() and as if she thought the screen itself would prevent a fall; she says" there are no screens on the windows. That's a problem for me. What could we do to prevent the children from dropping to their deaths?"
The realtor did not blink and says,"teach your child to not climb upon open windows"

Then there was the one in Europe on which the American buyer looked out the master bedroom window and saw the neighbor's not so neat yard.
Buyer-"eww.....that looks nasty. Is there anything I can about that view?"
Realtor: "hm.yes,appears to be a chicken run. Yes-indeed you can pull down the shade"

LOL!!!!!

LOL, Thank you...

But one thing really amazes me, didn't any of these young buyers ever pay attention to anything in THIER parents home while growing up???, like maybe a neighbor 30 feet away, light fixtures, appliances, carpeting and other stuff that if not just bought within 10 minutes of the showing, then it is dated?????????

they make them sound like the are comming from Perfect Planet.......

I wish I would have seen that one. Here in Brooklyn, we have child guards, which are bars on the lower 18 inches of the windows. mandatory for apartment dwellers with childrem 10 years and younger.



I am curious though why doesn't any of the houses in Europe have screens in the windows, they do have bugs, don't they?
