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.’

Every once in awhile I’ll read something about a person so interesting, I have to write about them.  Titus Terranova has completely caught my attention.  This guy is taking home ownership to a new level.  How many times have you moved into a place and thought it was the perfect location?  The neighbors seemed nice and respectful, the schools in the area were great, all of that.  Then the first Friday night you’re in your new home, you’re in the middle of a raging party, getting chased by rottweilers and dodging Roman Candles flying past your head.  If only someone could have warned you!  It’s not gonna be the realtor that tells you your neighbor is an asshole, they just hope you won’t run into him when you’re at the open house.  But Titus Terranova is putting all the cards on the table.  He likes loud music, loud cars, fireworks and dogs that can kill you.  If you don’t like it, you might want to look somewhere else.  This is the greatest thing ever.  Imagine if everywhere you lived you could live with people that were just like you.  If we were up front and told people how we live, I guarantee you that we could be more peaceful.  You could live on a block with nothing but old people, gay people, quiet people, college kids, whatever.  Titus gets it.  He doesn’t want any problems.  Hell, if I had the money to do it, or had any vague interest in moving to Colorado, I’d be his neighbor.  He shoots from the hip and I fucking love it.
