10. Your family all thinks your Vancouver Island house is worth $350,000 when the actual market value is about $275,000. Of course you believe and trust their opinion since they live in Mongolia and obviously have their finger in the local market.
9. You decide to paint your house before you list it for sale. Unfortunately, you cover everything inside and out in lime green with purple trim.
8. You are pretty sure your suite in the basement is legal but you have a nagging feeling that the ten illegal immigrants that are cooped up inside are not.
7. You list your house for sale by owner. A sophisticated buyer comes along and asks you for a list of the chattels that come with the house. You get angry and tell him to leave because you aren't selling any of the cows.
6. Vacuuming and making your bed does not count as staging.
5. You decide to stay at home while your house is being shown because you really want to express the frequency with which you flush septo down your toilet.
4. Your Realtor shows up to host an open house on a Saturday morning and politely informs you that there is an offensive odour that may not be appealing to buyers. You inform your Realtor that fried liver and onions is a common breakfast in your country.
3. Your harvest gold kitchen set is not cool...never was...never will be. Period.
2. You decide to spruce up your yard a bit before an open house. You hire a dump truck to bring in some top soil. Unfortunately there is a clerical error and the dump truck loads your front yard with a load full of nicely composted steer manure.
1. You pick your real estate agent based on a photo from the company website. Unfortunately when he arrives at your house he is now a she and is about thirty years older than the picture suggests. Believe me, one picture does not last a lifetime.
