You want to realtor to misrepresent the property? As an investor I LOVE seeing stuff come up like this, because it means money.

Yeah what do you want the realtor to do? Come out of pocket for a power wash and some sod and landscape work? Get real. If anything blame the owner.

Some people look at this and complain that everything isn’t perfect on day one. Some look at this and see a potential opportunity to put in the work, make repairs, add value in the hope that reflects when it’s their turn to sell. Neither one is right or wrong, it’s just depends on what the purpose of the purchase is for.

It’s probably a rental/investments property intended to sell to another investor. No one worries about the aesthetic in the rental world.

And this, my friends, is why it’s important to have an hoa

And this, my friends, is why I live on enough land that I can't see my neighbors.

Could be on Maui.

I guarantee that this is tenant occupied. And if it sold at $160k, it was likely sold to an investor who bought it based on the numbers on paper, not what the property looks like on the inside.
