Appraising a haunted house…..
Upon my inspection of the rear yard I found the landscaping to be littered with tombstones from the family graves. I noted the external factor as I measured the perimeter of the house. I took my photo of the rear of the house and noticed a face looking back at me from the attic window. When I removed the camera from my eye the face was gone. Thinking to myself the house was supposed to be empty, I rang the door bell before I entered. I heard footsteps scattering around in the house so I rang the doorbell again and knocked on the door this time. Nobody answered so I went inside. As I stepped in the foyer, the wood floods creaked and I noted the hard wood flooring in below average condition. Spider webs all over the place I noted that there might be an infestation and it should be checked out by an expert in that field. I entered the kitchen and noted that it was dated because of the cooking facilities only included an open fireplace and a cooking pot for witches brew. I took my photos and moved on to the basement. In the basement I found more spider webs again noting the infestation. The utilities were not existent so I made comments on the function obsolescence. I also noted that the basement was finished as a torture chamber and that the bars to hold its occupant did not allow external access. Moving back upstairs to the top floor, I entered the full bath on the top floor. Again dated, the bath was another witches brewing pot. I marked in my notes the dated features and moved on to the attic. As I suspected there was a ghostly figure in a rocking chair with her back towards me. She was rocking back and forth in the chair and asked me to approach. As I did she began to ask how much is my house worth, and then mysteriously disappeared. I left the house wondering how I was to complete the appraisal report, there were no comparable sales to be found. What kind of adjustments should be made for the grave yard, the ghosts, and the condition of the house. Thinking to myself I should have declined this job, I then woke up and realized it was just a Halloween Daydream………
Have a great day and remember that safety come first, we wish you a happy, fun and most of all a safe Halloween…….
