A few months ago I was showing a property to a great referral client that was sent to me from on of my preferred lenders. We walked into the master bath and found the biggest fiberglass bathtub that I have ever seen. It literally took up 70% of the floor space in the room. As we inspected the awkward space for potential redesign ideas, an agent who had just joined our team, and was shadowing me for the month, walked in and energetically said "holy bathtub." I bought him lunch for having the quote of the week.
As ugly as that bathtub was, our buyer could see the potential in the property and we were able to eventually get better than a 10% discount on the property for him. And it was well priced already.
He learned a valuable lesson that any buyer should take to heart. One man's crummy bathtub is another mans great deal.
He removed the giant tub and has remodeled a few other things to make the home a very nice place. He will certainly do well when he sells.
