Living in a foreclosed home

... was a raccoon.

Charleston real estate foreclosed homes for saleImagine our surprise as my clients and I were walking through a foreclosed home for sale in Charleston and spotted a raccoon that apparently made itself at home and was comfortably sleeping in the window seat of a bedroom on the top floor. And he (or she) was also using the room as his (or her) toilet rather than going into the available jack and jill bath. I left a message for the listing agent so that the home can be secured.

It was a little startling but my clients did like the home and are considering it.

Eeek!! That must have been a shocker! And certainly made the visit memorable - much better than "the house with the orange carpet" or "the one with the small kitchen".

This also reminds me of the ad that's on TV right now - I can't remember what it's for but it features a woman, sans glasses, who calls for her cat at the door, greets it, and invites to come upstairs to sleep on the bed.  The "cat" is a raccoon.  Guess yours didn't need an invitation.
