[Just another Joe]

they tend to SMELL and they tend to be FILTHY.

You know what HJ, I'm going to tell you the same thing I tell all other smoke gnatzies, "BITE ME!".

You don't have a clue about smokers, FReepers, or just about anything else you have spouted on this thread.

All you want to do is say how smokers houses stink to high heaven and are as filthy as the trash heaps of a third world country.
You can go spout your hate somewhere else where it just might be believed.

IF, as stated in the article, smokers houses are being sold cheaper, did you ever stop to think that it could be yet another politically correct stanza in the demonize smokers song sung by every anti-smoker in the country.

"Smokers are evil" "Smokers are killing all of us" "Smokers stink" "Smokers are dumb" etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum.
Now it's "Smokers houses stink and are filthy"

All of you anti-smokers out there can BITE ME!

Ah, I see, so you are contending that listing agents are intentionally selling smokers houses cheaper, as a grand conspiracy against smoking?

Man, you have been smoking WAY more than tobacco if you believe that crap.

Agents are paid a commission, the they get a percentage of the sale price, they want to get the highest price they can for a property... otherwise they affect their own pocketbook. If you think agents are collectively going, hey, lets underlist this property just to screw this smoker... you are NUTS.

Fact is, houses of smokers by and large smell, very often are visibly affected by the habbit as well, and frankly buyers aren't going to pay top dollar for a house needing work.... That's reality.... DEAL WITH IT.
