My home search is still primarily in the virtual stage, as we're waiting a little longer before we'll be ready to buy. I have enjoyed looking online though, and figure it will help with the style of house and neighbourhood we want once we have narrowed our price point and are serious about buying.
In all this online viewing I have noticed a few things that many people do with pictures of the bathrooms:
-Leave the lid and sometimes seat of the toilet up. Why??? It makes me cringe. Is this how all of these people normally leave their toilets, or is this done for the pictures? Is no one concerned about bacteria? Sure, it's still aerosolized when you flush with the lid down, but it's at least reduced, and at least you won't drop something in the toilet.
-There are fuzzy toilet seat covers and the fuzzy mats going around the toilet. Do people actually use these microbe breeding grounds? They make me shudder. Maybe it's just a staging thing, but they aren't encouraging me to buy a house!
-Have a near empty roll of toilet paper. These tend to also be the lid/seat up pictures. It just reminds me of a place where 20-something males live, which is not the type of house I want to buy! How difficult is it to stick on a full roll before a picture?
