“You Know What They Meant” Dept.
I’ve been involved in lots of estate sales, and have certainly seen plenty listed on MLS.
But, I don’t recall ever seeing that rather unfortunate pairing — “estate” and “situation” — on MLS before.
What’s going on?
Two guesses: 1) it’s a new(er) agent; and 2) the home’s not very presentable, because the estate representative(s) couldn’t or wouldn’t do any home prep — and it shows.
You can further surmise that said agent feels (quite) defensive about the home’s market-readiness (or lack thereof).
Personally, I would have engaged a clean-up crew on my dime, and arranged to been reimbursed from the closing proceeds.
Failing that, I might have phrased things a little, well, more delicately.
