Jeanette Hussey

We purchased a home that was listed through Jeanette Hussey. It was listed as having an «Updated Kitchen»… yet the flooring, counters, cabinets, and appliances were all at least 7 – 10 years old and needed to be replaced. The cheap peel-​and-​stick flooring in the kitchen was so old that all of the edges were chipping away between the tiles. The bathrooms were also listed as «updated»… yet the vanities and flooring were well over 10 years old, light fixtures were rusty, medicine cabinets were rusty and dated, and the tub in the main bathroom and the shower in the master bathroom had been painted and the paint was wearing off.
We couldn’t find anything in the kitchen or bathrooms that could have been considered «updated» as was proudly proclaimed in the listing. We still purchased the home because we figured it would all be easy to fix, and it was hard to find a home just under $ 200k in the area we liked.
Anything that needed to be done on the house, which required seller’s approval, took a week or more to begin to be taken care of. Things that we or the sellers needed to pay for were done without making sure the contractor charged a reasonable sum and several things were outrageously overcharged. Realtors should take care of things in a timely manner, with common sense, and represent the homes they are selling accurately and honestly without exaggerating updates in their listings that didn’t actually happen.
After we purchased the home, we found out the entire house had to be rewired at a cost of thousands of dollars because there were three separate instances in the attic where copper wire was joined to aluminum and the wire nuts had melted, one had even caused a fire that apparently put itself out in the metal box… the previous owners were awfully blessed that the house didn’t burn down while they were sleeping!
