An ICAP member received the following request for an appraisal assignment today. The names have been removed just in case homeowner is for real....Enjoy!
I have a 3 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath house w/ 2 floors and a basement. I live in (town withheld). I bought this house from a woman who's father had owned it for over 40 years. He tragically died in one of the rooms on the 2nd floor at the age of 86. Now that I have been in the house for several months I often hear strange noises or see moving shadows out of the corner of my eye. I believe the house to be haunted by the ghost of that woman's dead father. That being said I have a few questions:
- I would like to set up an appointment w/ you for an appraisal.
- Do you believe that the haunting will increase or decrease the value of my house? IF you believe that being haunted decreases my houses value do you know of any ghostbusters, holy men,
or spells that will remove the spirit? - My neighbors are from Poland and I believe they are talking about me in Polish while I am out in the yard, do you have anyone on staff who speaks Polish so I can be sure? If not can you teach me some polish swear words so I can at least even out the playing field a bit.
- I sleep in a bed shaped like a race car. The car is an expensive black jaguar, but in reality the bed only cost me 80$ at Walmart. Do you think that when I sell the house I should leave the bed in the master bed room and try to add 50-70,000$ onto my asking price?
Thank you for your time.
Kind Regards,
