America Votes On Ugliest House

FranTrends.com:

Chicago has the ugliest house in America. That’s according to thousands of people who voted online at www.theugliesthouse.com in HomeVestors’ Second Annual Ugliest House of the Year contest. The “winner” was announced today at the company’s annual convention at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas.

“People know us for our famous ‘We Buy Ugly Houses’® billboards, and this contest is proof that we mean what we say,” said John Hayes, president and CEO of HomeVestors of America.

The Chicago winner is a 100-year-old property located at 10347 S. Avenue L. The house was purchased by HomeVestors franchisee Scott Gottlieb of SNL Realty, LLC, and has been restored.

“This house was ugly from the inside out,” said Gottlieb. “It was animal-infested and completely piled high with garbage. On our first visit we couldn’t even get the front and back doors open due to the amount of clutter pressed against the walls.” Gottlieb purchased the property, managed the clean up and sold it to a wholesaler who gutted the house and handled the restoration.
