Househunting

Jul

We went out on our first househunting expedition (for this purchase)
yesterday and I discovered just how fast and loose realtors play with
terms like "finished basement" and "bedroom". Apparently, if there isn't a
dirt floor, it's a finished basement and if a person could fall asleep,
leaning up against a vertical bed, it's a bedroom. More than once, we had
the discussion of "Where's the 3rd bedroom?" "Oh, I bet that little room
at the end of the hall is what they're 'calling' the bedroom". I'm glad we
ended up with an honest realtor so that people don't get irritated trying
to find features that were advertised that don't really exist in our
house.

FYI: If it's got a closet and a window big enough to get out of, it's a
bedroom. Doesn't matter if no bed on earth can fit in the room.
