Q: Is it possible to improve a pass through bedroom situation without adding a dormer and doing a major renovation? We live in an older Dutch colonial style home. The master bedroom is large, however the two children?s rooms are divided by a floating wall. Closets on each side. Each room has a window and heat source, however you must walk through one room to get to the other. We need to list our house and my Realtor wants to list it as a two bedroom which would drastically decrease our price point? What?s my best option? Help.

A: Options
1. Sell the home ?as is?, as a 3 bedroom home disclosing the fact that to enter into the 2 smaller bedrooms there is a ?pass through? or
2. Tear down the wall, add a bathroom and sell as a 2 bedroom, 2 bath home or
3. Call your local renovator contractor and ask his/her advise. and Good luck!

A: Dear Islip seller,
As a very successful agent for 35 years, I am sorry to tell you that I agree completely with your agent. People will see the third bedroom as an extra, rather than being ?disappointed? that it is not really 3. You can never sell for a good price when people are disappointed, or worse, suspicious, because the description isn?t ?clean?. And price will be what the market says, regardless of whether you sell as a 2BR plus bonus or disappointing 3BR, wording cannot affect that, but it WILL affect the tenor of your transaction. Suspicion costs a seller.

A: I don?t know about the laws in NY, but in some states you cannot have a pass through bedroom. Is there no way to add a door?
