And, here he and his gang are. I can hear their footsteps on our roof and can see them spray our windows. While I sit inside calmly doing whatever I want to do. His wife is the business person: she sets the appointments and takes the money. He’s got a big black truck with a black trailer with his logo on the side. Here it is, I’ll advertise for him. Manny is the one in the big straw hat with the long pole.
So - we didn’t get our first choice of homes in Val Vista. What’s next? Well, let’s look at others. Something’s bound to turn up. They list all the homes online with pictures of them, some with lots of pictures, some with not so many. But, it’s a great way to eliminate some homes and to focus on others.
We've looked at quite a few pictures of park models as we have been searching for one to buy. We’re always puzzled that we see lots of pictures like this: shower nozzles.
Who thinks this is a real selling point?
Who spent energy and time putting a picture of a shower nozzle on line and in the advertising booklets?
Do they think that those over 55 who buy in these resorts buy a house because of the shower nozzle?
Is this the discussion they imagine buyers having:
‘Honey, I love the floor plan but can’t stand the shower nozzle. Let’s keep looking.’
'Honey, I love the kitchen, the neighborhood, the AZ room, but the shower nozzle is just a deal breaker.’
Or conversely:
‘Honey, the floor plan stinks, but I love the shower nozzle. Let’s buy this one.’
‘Honey, I hate this house but I love the shower nozzle. Let’s buy it.’
Come on. I mean - shower nozzles are replaceable. They aren’t the end-all and the be-all. They can be found in any hardware store or Home Depot or Walmart or Love’s or - well, you get the idea. You don’t like it - get a new one. You don’t need a picture of the shower nozzle to sell a house.
Ah, well. We keep looking.
