Househunting

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.
