I have The foreclosures blues

Well it looks like I am starting another rant on the REO agents. I am sorry I know tha tyou have a thnakless job.. but... When the listing agent puts in the listing "Slight Discoloration in lower level" and you see THIS! REALLY? Are you serious? SLIGHT DISCOLORATION? Seriously?

Are we as buyer agents missing some code book? After getting that exact verbage I walked in to a foreclosed home today to show it to a buyer. The smell hit us as soon as we walked in the door. I knew right away what that "Slight Discoloration" was. Then we go down stairs (no electricity on) with our flashlights and see this on 5 out of 7 walls.

Can't they just say Probable mold issues in basement. I still have a headache. This is the part of my job that I hate.

So its 203K, or cash. Oh and please take a RECENT picture of the house. The Agent used the 2006 picture (from the mls) of the house and in that picture the house had a garage. The previous owner enclosed the garage and truned it into 2 tiny rooms with a bath in between. My buyer wants a house with a garage. That listing agent wasted my time and my buyers time.

Please REO agents, If there is mold... tell us. and...Please take a current picture of the house.
