A bizarre Zillow listing for a Colorado home has warned potential buyers they won\u2019t be allowed to inspect the property before purchasing \u2014 and that it\u2019ll be their responsibility to remove the current \u201coccupant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tori McMechan, who lives inside the three-bed, two-bath home in Nunn \u2014 about 25 miles outside Fort Collins \u2014 called the listing \u201cunreal\u201d after the residence went into foreclosure, according to 9News on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho would buy a home sight unseen with an occupant still in it?\u201d she told the outlet.<\/p>\n

The home has been listed for $215,280 on the real estate app for over two months before it was shared on X Wednesday by the account Zillow Gone Wild, where it quickly racked up more than four million views.<\/p>\n

The listing drew attention for its unusual conditions, warning buyers the home is \u201cbeing sold occupied\u201d with \u201cNO SHOWINGS and NO PROPERTY ACCESS for inspections or otherwise,\u201d and will be sold \u201cin its current, unknown, as-is condition.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBuyer will be responsible for obtaining possession of the property upon closing,\u201d it stated.<\/p>\n

The listing agent told 9News he has sold thousands of foreclosed homes over his career \u2014 but this is the first he\u2019s listed with someone still living at the residence.<\/p>\n

McMechan said she has lived in the home since 2006 when her husband, James McMechan, purchased the property four years before he was killed in a car accident, and she has been there ever since.<\/p>\n

James McMechan died in a \u201cone-vehicle crash shortly after he threatened several Nunn town board members with a knife,\u201d police told the Greeley Tribune following his death in May 2010.<\/p>\n

Tori McMechan served as Nunn\u2019s town clerk and treasurer until she was fired in February 2010, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the last thing that my husband bought for me before he passed,\u201d the widow told 9News, fighting back tears as she described her years-long legal battle to keep the home since his death.<\/p>\n

The property has been entangled in foreclosure proceedings for more than 15 years. <\/p>\n

Weld County court documents from December 2025 show the deed eventually landed with Deutsche Bank, with records showing the loan went into default around 2010.<\/p>\n

Court records indicate that there have been at least six separate filings since 2010.<\/p>\n

McMechan claims the bank has been \u201cunwilling\u201d to work with her as the \u201csurviving spouse\u201d and alleges that they refused to speak with her or accept her payments because her husband\u2019s name was on the loan, leaving her unable to make payments.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe took out the loan, the actual loan on this house, in \u201906,\u201d McMechan told 9News. \u201cIn 15 years, 2021, this home would have been paid off.\u201d<\/p>\n

McMechan sued the lender twice on her own, arguing the loan had been passed between companies without a clear paper trail proving who actually owned it, but both lawsuits were dismissed, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

The Zillow listing went up after the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled last year that even taking McMechan\u2019s claims at face value, they did not amount to a legal reason to stop the sale.<\/p>\n

McMechan said she feels her last remaining option is to be formally evicted.<\/p>\n

In October 2024, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that tenants facing eviction have the right to demand a jury trial under certain circumstances \u2014 a decision that McMechan is now banking on to save her home.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

McMechan said that regardless of the outcome, she intends to remain in the home no matter who purchases it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m staying,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cThey can come on in, but I\u2019m not leaving.\u201d<\/p>\n

The listing generated intense reaction across the internet from those who were taken aback over the $215,000 asking price. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never seen a house being sold as a mystery box,\u201d a third added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
