FIRE! And the clean up, oh my!

What a mess! I feel bad that I am the bank's only liason in the area for this property. What a lot of work I have ahead of me. I have to file reports, take pictures, get demo bids and talk with fire investigators. I can't believe all of this is my responsibilty as a real estate agent representing the listing of this property! Have any of you had experience with this? From what I gather, after I do all of this and insurance has all of the info they need, I will get the lot listing. The lot listing isn't that great because there is a building moritorium in this particular neighborhood.

The fire dept. doesn't think it was the previous owners of this home because it was just a victim of the neighboring house which burned to the ground.

I am not opposed to doing the work, and it is an interesting experience, I feel I am learning a lot and can more closely sympathize with other people who have lost their homes and what they have to go through in the aftermath. But, wow, what a lengthy process. I am surprised that this is how the bank handles this sort of thing, throught the Realtor. Because of my lack of experience with burned down houses, I am surprised that I am the best person for the job.

I did have another one of my REO's vandalized and flooded, so I am certainly getting a colorful education at this point of my career.

Weekly Lake Level and Temp

The lake may be down a little, but with the decreasing temp. there are less boaters on the lake and therefore less evaporation. I really would like to get out there a few more times this year. My daughter just learned to ski and it's such a joy to watch! We have had a few days that attempted to rain, so maybe winter will bring overflowing lake levels this year - we'll just have to see! Stay tuned...
