Neighbor’s Sign Is Making it Hard For Property to Sell
Daily Mail - At first glance this rural property in prime horse country looks like a dream home. But the two storey house in Brighton, Colorado is unlikely to sell any time soon- thanks to a huge sign warning prospective buyers about a nextdoor neighbour from hell. Titus Terranova, who owns the adjoining property, has taken it upon himself to give prospective buyers the lay of the land. A bright red sign painted on the side of a caravan on his land warns interested parties about Terranova’s anti-social lifestyle. The sign reads: ‘WARNING / 3 Rottweilers / Loud Parties / Loud Music / Loud Cars / Anti-Horse / Fireworks / Call for more info.’ Unfortunately for the vendors the sign is clearly visible from the window of their master bedroom and several other vantages that are bound to catch prospective buyers’ attention. The realtor attempting to sell the home, Renee Lalonde, is at her wit’s end. Lalonde says previous buyers have turned down the property because of the sign. But Terranova says he is merely exercising his right to free speech and preventing any future problems in the neighbourhood. He said: ‘I think I’ve covered the bases. I’m kind of warning people what’s at this house. Let’s make sure were all gonna live around each other and be happy.’ ‘I feel like if I make it pretty clear what’s over here. If you don’t like that don’t buy this house. Move onto the next one.’ Bizarrely Terranova claims he may be helping the vendors’ cause. He explained: ‘This story right here may find a buyer for that house, because there are guys like me all over the place out here. I’m not the only one.’
