A bizarre Zillow listing for a Colorado home has warned potential buyers they won’t be allowed to inspect the property before purchasing — and that it’ll be their responsibility to remove the current “occupant.”
Tori McMechan, who lives inside the three-bed, two-bath home in Nunn — about 25 miles outside Fort Collins — called the listing “unreal” after the residence went into foreclosure, according to 9News on Thursday.
“Who would buy a home sight unseen with an occupant still in it?” she told the outlet.

“This is the last thing that my husband bought for me before he passed,” the widow told 9News, fighting back tears as she described her years-long legal battle to keep the home since his death.
The property has been entangled in foreclosure proceedings for more than 15 years.
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.
Court records indicate that there have been at least six separate filings since 2010.
McMechan claims the bank has been “unwilling” to work with her as the “surviving spouse” and alleges that they refused to speak with her or accept her payments because her husband’s name was on the loan, leaving her…
