Spinoff to gross houses on MLSLI
What would you do if you looked at it and realized it was owned by someone you know? I'd probably keep my mouth shut for fear that people would think I was the same way b/c I knew them.
I told DH a few weeks back that I'm scared that when we put this house on the market in a few years, I'll see a post on here bashing my decorating or something.

Re: Spinoff to gross houses on MLSLI
there was a huge blow up on LIW a few years ago about people posting pics of houses that they thought were gross. Some took offense to it because what is one mans garbage is anothers treasure. so people need to remember that when criticizing things!! KWIM??

I am sorry if that post offended you. I felt the same way when my parents decided to sell their house.. I know I couldn't bear to read any negative comments about the house I grew up in and love dearly. But there were no posts about it!
I don't think people post to be mean, they only do it when you see something really unbelievable - like the rotten floor

Re: Spinoff to gross houses on MLSLI
I think there is a complete difference between a home that is NMS and completely gross. I think most people will agree that pictures of mold, waterspots, cracked foundations, dog pee floors, pet dropings, etc. are gross and will point that out since those things should be fixed.
A house that is NMS - well we all have different tastes and prefer different things. That is what makes the world go round.

WHo cares if they bash your place? Thats like people bashing your neighborhood. People get so defensive over things like this. If I say something like "MEDFORD *****"... people who live in Medford will be like W-T-F.
I live in Levittown... people can say all they want its trashy where I live. I say fine. 
Remember...
#1 there is a buyer for every house.
#2 there isn't a single house in this entire state that EVERYBODY will like. There will always be somebody who doesn't like what you have.

Re: Spinoff to gross houses on MLSLI
I wasn't offended at all. Before I clink the link I always think "Imagine if it was a house that someone I went to school with lived in" or something. I'd feel bad for them, but believe me, I'm laughing along with everyone else.
I know that if this house was actually put on the market by my ILs before we bought it for sure it would have been up here. It was a nightmare! Crap everywhere, filthy dirty carpets, dark paneling in every room, the list goes on and on. MIL just isn't into housekeeping at all, and she thinks I'm exagerating how long it took me to clean up. It would have been funny to hear what people had to say.
Like we kept most of the same service companies (oil, alarm, etc) that they had and anytime we've had service the people always remember how it was and say "I hope you got a good deal on this house, it was a real sh!t hole! The last owners were disgusting." It makes me laugh for hours after they leave.

I know you are right, and I try to have a thick skin about stuff, but I have like ZERO self confidence. I'm working on it, but it's not easy.

Re: Spinoff to gross houses on MLSLI
i honestly do not get the need to post houses like this...
and i can see why some drama had occurred in the past...
as well as on here if i remember correctly...
I mean honestly...why do people feel the need to do this?
And would you feel bad if someone here HAD owned one or was going to buy one?
That it was posted on here and made fun of 
I mean i think some are funny, when there are weird pics and all but i just do not get the need to post pics making fun of houses for sale

I agree, my house is on MLS and I think I would feel pretty crappy if people put it down.

What is there to see differently? Do you think everyone will always be in agreement with your tastes? I think thats a little unrealistic.

I guess i can agree with that. But again... I would not expect everyone out there to like where I live.
All i care about is that *I* like where I live.

of course..
buti think that as a someone looking to buy a home....
if i finally found one i wanted to buy to come here to see people make fun of it...
that would make me feel bad
should it....no
would it....yes
and in the end....What is the point of doing this?

I agree that if it was my house I'd be upset. I hadn't seen anything really mean, just the stuff with rotting floorboards and mold on the walls and stuff which is gross. Why wouldn't the realtor just skip posting those pictures? I didn't realize that it had been a problem in the past.

i have seen somethings on here that i felt were kinda wrong..
and yes, although they are usually not MEAN, it would bother me that anyone did this and even said....WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?
that i see quite a lot and again...
WHY is this really done?

Re: Spinoff to gross houses on MLSLI
I remember someone getting offended becuase I think their home was SIMILAR to something someone had posted and was making fun off...
Maybe none of us OWN the homes that have been made fun of but who knows how spic and span everyones house is on here...
I can see how making fun of homes can be offensive to some.

Re: Spinoff to gross houses on MLSLI
I'm sorry but this is gross. Period. I don't care who's house it is in - even if it was in my own house - it is gross and disgusting and unsanitary.
People are trying to sell this house. The other pics were fine, but this one was disgusting. It should notr have been posted if they were trying NOT to gross people out.
This floor should have been cleaned and repaired or removed - this is unsanitary and is breeding GOD knows what kind of bacteria. It's GROSS.
I'm not making fun of anyones house - there i s nothing to make fun of - this is just plain disgusting.
If someone sees my post about how gross it is and this is their house and they are offended, they still know its completely gross!!!
ETA: If you live like this - you need to rethink the way you are living. If you dont want people to call your house gross then either clean it or dont post it online for all of the Internet to see.
Im not trying to sound unfeeling or cold but c'mon. Image Attachment(s):

Re: Spinoff to gross houses on MLSLI
well i think unless you know the person..and know how they lived or what caused this damage i think your opinion is a tad harsh
and honestly...who cares anyway?
Those floors can easily be fixed...or carpeted over...
to assume how ANYONE lives or lived based on that picture is silly
For all we know that happened YEARS ago. And yes it makes you wonder why people would post that pic
but again WHO CARES?
What is the need to post about it..
because i dont' think you would like people critizing your home
ETA..and the fact that you could careless if that is someone home that you are critcizing soo openly and harshly is sad
such brutal honestly is rather frowned upon here

Re: Spinoff to gross houses on MLSLI
My house was a complete **** hole when I bought it. And now people cant believe, especially NEIGHBORS, of what my house looks like.
You have to have vision, and see beyond, and how to make it your own home.

Seriously???
Why are you so defensive of this picture or my opinion of this picture?
What am I missing?
ETA: by the way I said nothing about the home in it's entirety - what I said was gross was the condition of the floor.
