Private Library…or a Water Closet? Huh?

Private Library…or a Water Closet

I’ve got some great buyers…..YIPPIE !!!   I am sure you know I love buyers.

I always tell my buyers, that there is no such thing as being a “picky buyer”!  Just let me know your wants and your don’t wants.  One of my current buyers is from Atlanta, and they have a couple of specific items on their “wish list”.

One is a luxury master bath with 2 sinks.

AND

Two is the master bath must have a “water closet”.

OK, OK,  that is the official name of what we all know as a toilet in a closet  – you know….with a door you can close and be all alone on the “potty”. 

When I show homes, I alway say that we call it the “private library”.   That always gets a laugh.

HERE’S MY COMPLAINT   (AKA Suggestion BOX)

Our MLS Database input sheets have all kinds of options to provide detail. Examples: luxury bath, jetted tub, master on ground floor, fireplace, alarm systems, etc, etc.

YET, currently there is no way to determine if a luxury master bath does in fact have a  WATER CLOSET.   So it’s time to file a suggestion to the local board, and our MLS Internet Provider to see if we can get that added.  (Remember: we are not supposed to take photos of toilets)

I must have called 30 Realtors on the phone to find out if their listings had the WATER CLOSET feature.  I didn’t want to show homes that had an “open potty feature”.   I know you are giggling at me now.  It sure would have saved time to have that data right there on our MLS.  But, hey it was a way of “QUIZZING” the listing agents.  Does the home have a private library/water closet in the master bath???

And, my buyers were very happy to be shown homes that had the features that they wanted!
