If it smells fishy, it probably is fishy. 

All those things you mentioned, plus give me some mold in there and a smell please!

I can "smell" them the moment they walk in the house to view.

But if it looks like a D house, and smells like a D house....As far as the duplex convenience store, if it bothers you, call the city and tell the tax people that there is someone selling stuff without a sales tax license, and operating a business without a permit. 

@Robert Fountain,dated and dated, clean and new paint smell are 2 different things...i would check all competition for 0.5-1 mile radius then check all features for houses sold in the same radius.you will then know:-paint color/combination to use (neutral beige or the ever popular graige/grayish tones)-appliances common or not/expected or not (all matchy matchy)-houses features/commonalitychange counter tops and fixturesclean/rejuvenate the cabinetscheck like crazy the mechanicals: those are the #2 money eating (#1 is bad tenant or vacant property)some here on BP have removed carpet completely and refinished wood under/switched to vinyl click wood like planksgood luck

Optimus would be making decisions and moving to the battle before the pilot of the Gundam had a chance to think.

Tenant later says the carpet smells like dog urine.

@Adrian Vega collecting cash in person is weird unless your in a battle zone and it’s needed

Zillow *caters* to that percentage of the population that doesn't trust agents, so there is *no* counterbalancing force to say that , "Yes, that house went for $xx, but it smelled like cat piss, and someone stole the copper out of it!".

I will wait for it to fall out...I have won a battle against 17 offers.
