The CARPET IS TOO LIGHT???!!! Is that really how it’s going down?! I offer you a 3 bedroom, 1 ½ bath home in a quiet neighborhood down the street from an elementary school, 5 miles from downtown, 1 mile from a big ol’ pretty park and all you can tell me is that the CARPET IS TOO LIGHT?! This is why I am not a real estate agent. I might have gone completely off the deep end and said things that I should regret, but wouldn’t. Here are the details, people:
NEW carpet throughout and vinyl in the kitchen and bathrooms, plus sub-floor remediation
NEW lighting fixtures
NEW cabinet and door hardware
NEW blinds
NEW landscaping
NEW washer-dryer connections
NEW appliances (fridge and stove)
NEW vanity in the main bathroom
NEW closet in the third bedroom
NEW front porch railing, plus soffit and fascia on the front of the house
All for less than market price. And you tell me the carpet is too light. It’s so outrageous that it makes me tired. You be the judge.
Meh, maybe the carpet is too light. The comment is duly noted and I will surely put BLACK carpet in the next house. Grrrr...
You will also note that in this, my 3rd house, I started agitating for different colors in the kitchen and the rest of the house. I think these colors are Sherwin-Williams Online (#7072) in the common spaces and bedrooms and Sagey (#6175). Again, I’m not on SW’s payroll; I use what I am given. If you want to use any of these colors, good luck. SW seems to rotate colors faster than Tila Tequila changes boy/girlfriends. If you ask them for a color that was in stock literally the day before if they no longer have it the clerk will look at you like you are from another planet. Don’t take that look for an answer. Just take a seat and tell them you’ll be leaving when you get your sample, thank you. They always seem to come up with something that satisfies.
