Real Estate Agent Finds New Foreclosure Listing "Burnt To A Crisp"

In Indiana, DS News reports:
  • When Chris Price with the Chris Price Real Estate Team in Indianapolis, Indiana, headed out to one of his newer listings, he never imagined what he would find. “We received this assignment, and I promptly ventured out to visit the property,” Chris remembers. “Upon arrival, I knew this would be a 'hot deal' if you catch my drift.” All kidding aside, Chris said the sale was pretty much “null and void” from that point on because the home had been burnt to a crisp. To this day, Chris doesn't know what started the fire, and it's uncertain if the fire was a result of the foreclosure itself. But to this day, he is reminded of what could have been. “We thought that we might offer this one up as a 'fire sale' but the bank decided they wanted it back. It was a bummer, but this property will be charred in my memory for a long time,” Chris concluded.
