Sorry, you have to look in closets and cabinets. How else can you confirm they will work for you? Several years ago, when I was looking at a rental house, the tenant was there. He said he never got the text that the leasing agent sent about showing the house. What 20-30 year old doesn't have his phone in his hand 24/7? haha. I didn't look in the closet in one of the 2 bedrooms, saw the one in the second bedroom because the doors were wide open. Surprise surprise when I moved in the closet in the bedroom I chose as mine to use had a teeny tiny closet and the water heater was in there!!! it had previously been in the attic and it broke. they moved it to the closet so it wouldn't cause as much damage if it broke again. So for 3-1/2 years, I had to go into the 2nd bedroom to get my clothes to dress. not a problem as I was the only person living there with a dog. made me look at all closets!
the kitchen cabinets were another issue... just boxes hung on the walls - not very sturdy or deep.
OK, then why is Oregon eliminating the love letters?
It’s certainly isn’t so people won’t be discriminated against? The state senator who proposed this bill is a former realtor who’s backed by real estate groups and union builders. This is public record.
Saying it’s to help with discrimination is a good cover, but in reality it just makes it that much easier for big money to buy up houses without sellers knowing. Much of Oregon has seen R1 zoning go bye bye, and this is just the next step in redeveloping residential neighborhoods.
I have family in Salem and everyone there sees right through this BS. Thankfully there’s no law against you giving a seller a love letter, it’s just your agent can’t give it to them.

I am an agent and investor in Salem, and you don't know what you are talking about.
Never, ever, as long as.... Lol. And when the same sex couple brings their rejected cash offer, that was ten thousand more than you sold it for the same day, the burden of proof would be on you.
No, that's not how it works. The burden of proof is still on the person making the complaint. And even if the seller was discriminating it's a very difficult thing to prove.
Why did you accept the other offer instead of our cash offer that was $10k higher? The other offer met our asking price and came in first, we felt it was the fair thing to do. The other offer had a closing date that better fit our schedule. The other offer allowed us 2 week occupancy after close. The other offer had a bigger earnest deposit. The other offer had 7 day inspection contingency instead of 10 day.
All of you discussing discrimination, how do you know what the buyers look like? We had a zillion people in here in a week and were gone for 90% of the showings, the 10% I was there was to show ladies a few things the realtors would not know and things only a girl would appreciate that we did with the reno. I then left 50 seconds later and let them be alone with realtor and home. When we got 15 offers I had zero memory of anybody. What was reason they said not going with the 10k over? I am not entirely caught up here.
Lately I've been reading about about people sending in family pictures along with a "love letter". I'm just saying. One guy on another forum said that he sent in a picture of his family and his kids.

In hopes of trying to talk the family into choosing their offer? That is the weirdest thing I've heard.
I guess it may be less weird if you are spending millions. I never had a home of that value. Perhaps, that photo would mean something to owners like that. It's quite perplexing. I would want to know price of home and then we should all do a poll here
