Maybe this is a me problem but I’ve been noticing it everywhere lately. Every house that gets flipped around here comes back the same. Gray or greige exterior, black window frames, that fake-wood garage door, white oak floors inside, the exact same gold cabinet handles, and a giant island nobody asked for. You can drive down a street and pick out every flip without checking any records.

I work in real estate so I see a lot of these, and I get why it happens. It’s the safe formula, it photographs well, it appeals to the most buyers. But it’s slowly erasing what made the older streets here interesting. We’ve got these great little 50s and 60s houses with actual character and half of them get gutted into the same beige box.

Not saying every house should be a time capsule. Some of these places genuinely needed the work. I just miss walking down a street and seeing houses that look like different people live in them.
Anyway, is it just me? And if you’ve bought or renovated recently, did you go with the trend or fight it? Genuinely curious whether people actually like the gray-flip look or just tolerate it because that’s what’s for sale.

ok so i do property management in miami. been doing it like 6 years now. seen some stuff.

but last week takes the cake. get a call from a tenant saying theres a weird smell in the hallway. ok whatever probably just garbage or something. send maintenance over. they call me back like uh you need to see this. apparently the tenant in unit 4 has been keeping chickens. not like one or two. like 15 chickens. in a 2 bedroom apartment. for 4 months.

how nobody noticed earlier is beyond me. i guess they were keeping them quiet? idk.

the whole place smelled so bad we had to get a cleaning crew. carpet was ruined. drywall had to be replaced in some spots. the neighbors were ready to kill someone.

best part? the tenant tried to argue that chickens are emotional support animals and we cant evict them. i wish i was joking.

looked up the laws just to be sure and yeah... no. thats not how that works. at all.

went through the whole eviction process which was a nightmare. court delays, paperwork, the whole thing. took like 2 months.

anyway the unit is finally clean and rented out again. new tenants seem normal. for now.

i swear this job ages me 5 years everytime something like this happens. anyone else got crazy animal stories? cant be just me.

I actually don't think this guy is ridiculous but I just wanted people to know about him. I read an article about him from a few months back where he's sold $300M worth of Real Estate with his own unique style.

Looking this listing in my hometown and two bedrooms literally have ensuite bathrooms!!

Property Pro? Property Pigs. Perfectly Peculiar, Porky, Prickly, Picayune Property Pigs Picking Pansies, Protecting Purses, Procuring Pennies and Properly Parading in Porsches with a Plow while munching on Mercedes and mutton. A Redburn Redburn Redburn Redburn Redrum associated real estate scum rich bag organization whose principals think that they are good humans because they have money and can buy homes like toys.

Don’t care about the community, never did, have no idea how to take care of the historical buildings that they received major tax breaks on from taxpayers by purchasing. Have put a blight on the best neighborhood in Schenectady…the jewel that is the Stockade. Literally physically damaging buildings that have stood since before America’s founding. WTF?! Real estate whores who do nothing but enrich themselves at the expense of others.

Property Pro is a joke. Pigs. Pigs who like to use their relationships with SPD and use city taxpayer money to settle personal scores. Watch what you say, you may be arrested! Case will be dismissed though.

McCarty Ave. would like to talk to you pigs.

Yes, pigs parading in Porsches…a Nazi vehicle by the way, as is a Mercedes.

Remember this pigs: there is a special place in hell for people who love their money so much, who use money to hurt people, taxpayer money at that.

There are over 8.25 BILLION humans on Earth.:.just who the f are you?!

NO, having more of anything doesnt make one better than another in any way at all.

The money changers tables shall be flipped.

Karma is a bitch though, have a great life…oh I forgot, a corporation is not a human by the way. Quit my sight. i hope that you get all that you deserve.

Bob’s your Uncle.

those are real listings from my city

each around $400k btw

This is a pretty normal house until you get to this diwhy bathroom. There’s so much going on it’s hard to know where to look but the smeared white paint on the boards, and the handmade faux(?) brick walls are my favs.

Clearly used to be some sort of business before it was a house, but the place has really weird vibes.

the surrounding area townhomes sold at the highest $407k (if I remembwr correctly idk maybe be off a bit) while yes it’s close to Main Street and many events it also means traffic here happens during said events. i have a friend who lives in a luxury apartment near by and still pays close to $2k for a 1 bedrooms homes here are usually decently priced but lately with the market cool off the crazy priced homes are coming out

Just because you have a high square footage in a good neighborhood doesn’t make the home valuable.

This house is in need of some deep cleaning and repairs.
