I did a BPO (broker price opinion) last week for a bank owned property. The house had been listed as a short sale and it didn’t work out. As always, that’s an unfortunate situation. The even more unfortunate part is the way that the owner decided to deal with their anger:
(This was the view from the entryway)
(The “open” hallway)
(Note that you can see the kitchen through the brokenout door and hallway)
(You can also see the next room through the shower enclosure)
(The fact that they left the cabinets intact amazes me!)
(A green pool isn’t all that uncommon these days but it makes for a nasty picture!)
What do you think of this “right” that many seller’s claim as they are evicetd from their houses?

Hi! I also do BPOs and list foreclosures for banks. I find it sad and appalling that the owners destroy homes as a way to hurt the bank. It isn’t the bank that they hurt so much as the potential buyer that has to go in and repair all of the damage. Furthermore, the bank didn’t cause the health issues, job loss, divorce, the owner pulling out their equity for trips and what not…. I think the anger is misdirected.
What a shame! These people feel the world owes them most likely everything! I too agree with the other person who commented on your post. The bank was kind enough to lend them the money and now they want to make it hard for another to buy now!!! Makes no sense. We need to keep all of these people who are losing their homes in our prayers!!
