Well, as the title suggests, My wife and I are house hunting.
& man IS IT FRUSTRATING!
I reckon this GIF here describes it all perfectly.
WHY?
Well, as I'm overseas and my Mrs is in another State to the one we want to move to, we are relying upon internet sites that list the houses.
No, we don't believe most of the descriptions out there that realestate agents put in their listings!
I think I can state how I feel about this with another appropriate GIF, as a picture says a thousand words!
I mean seriously, when I read "cul de sac" ????????
WTF is that all about?
Seriously, wtf? why on earth can't they just write a nice little "dead end street" or "no through road" WHY in goodness do they have to use some foreign friggin term to say "little to no traffic" steet, crt, place or whatever the category of road is.
& get this, when I see that , I IMMEDIATELY go look at the map to see this "cul de sac" location and usually right behind it is one of the following three things:
A SCHOOL (YARD)
or
A HIGHWAY/FREEWAY
or
Crazy stuff that would never cross your mind until you start looking at Google earth and Googling the area/address!
Now as if that all wasn't enough, the part that kills me is what the first gif with the bunny rabbit and carrot showed.
Half the listings are ALREADY SOLD!
Yep, they are not available to anyone, as they are long gone.
I mean, WTF is that all about?
Seriously, WTF is that all about!
Ohhhhh and here's one that everyone will love!
the photos of the place, like the backyard for example!
I mean, seriously, these agents must hire the worlds best photographers, or they should change their day jobs and become photographers!
I mean, damnnnnnn when I look at the photos in their listing, it looks like I have a bloody football field for a back yard.
Yet when I look at Google Maps, I'd be lucky to fit a ruddy BBQ in the backyard.
Seriously, no exagerations!
These people know their sh#t when it comes to photography, seriously, they are the masters of illusion.
Copperfield, eat your heart out, move over to the illusionists called "Real Estate Agents".
All in all, IT IS FRUSTRATING!
I reckon that I could go on for pages here about it all, but the above experiences are enough to paint a very realistic picture in all this, no BS. I'm telling you, the above ulog is just the tip of that MF iceberg called "House Hunting".
Hope you all enjoy the rest of today and if you ever go into the house hunting game, make sure to have a list of shrinks in the area, because you will probably need one after you manage to finally find a place and if you go by what the listing says, damn, you will be a regular customer at some shrinks office, because chances are you will have some crazy neighbour mowing their lawn every morning at 06:00 or at night at 22:00.
Signing out for the day!
Yours truly.
