House Won't Sell--Bad Neighbors

[Gus Tsesmeloglou]

BP peeps!  I need help.  I need to sell my FIRST FLIP, which is located in Belton, SC, but there are a couple of neighbors who yell, and scream, and have unruly children and a big dog that has scared away all prospective buyers!  

WHAT    DO    I     DO??

[Marc Winter]

Were these neighbors there when you bought the house?  Did you try actually talking to them?

First, try to make nice.  Bring them a home-baked pie.  Let them know when you are having an open house and if they could keep it down during that time. Pay to send them and the kids to a movie during your house showing.

If carrots don't work, try the sticks:  6' stockade fence, purchase and blast the critter-be-gone ultra high frequency sonic generator aimed at their property 24/7 (quiets dogs and sometimes kids).  If they neglect their kids, drop a dime (that means call the proper local authorities).  Research online to see if there are any outstanding warrants on them.  Check for parole violations, etc.

You can also let the neighbors know that if the house doesn't sell, you will be renting it to the worst group of bad a** bikers / gang members you can find who will blast their own unique type of music that makes heavy-metal-devil-worship rock sound like Mozart, 24/7.

Lastly, take the above half in jest.
