Real Estate's Secret Weapon... Ex-Cop McNinch Springs Into Action!

Renton, WA

This past week I have been assisting my mentor and Keller Williams Team member, Gary McNinch, in helping a lovely young couple make an offer on a home in the Renton Highlands area. All in all, this Real Estate transaction has gone fairly smoothly, and today we were on our way to meet our homeowners to be at what is hopefully their "home-to-be" for a buyer's inspection.

So McNinch and I hop in my red PT Cruiser and head up Sunset Boulevard when all of a sudden, just about 30 ft in front of us, a truck in the oncoming traffic swerves into our lane at about 35 miles an hour and hits the truck right in front of us. The crash is big, the radiator burst fluid everywhere and the big truck is completely rebounding back from the hit -- and is totally smashed. No sooner had I hit the brakes when Ex-cop McNinch is out the door of the car saying "hit the hazzards" and before I could even find the button -- he's up with the drivers of both vehicles -- checking out the scene. Wow! A Realtor's job IS exciting!

Ok, it gets better... the cops show up real quick, and when they do -- the dude in the truck that caused the accident is trying to flee the scene -- and McNinch is reaching for his cuffs! Only, he's a realtor now, and I think his "quickest draw" is a business card nowadays -- but anyways, McNinch weighs taking the guy down (who really isnt too quick) or not --- and goes with not -- and signals the cops in to take over from there, who catch up with the guy, cuff him, and put him on a stretcher. Man, the guy would have to be in pain... Gary said the steering wheel was all mangled!

I did think to take at least one picture... wish I had got the whole thing! Anyways, it was real exciting to see Gary in action! And can I just say --- I think the Renton Cops are super friendly! And fast!

We did make it to the inspection -- and the best part is, our super good inspector gave the home high marks -- the home buyers are thrilled, why, it was a thrilling day, all around... and in the end, I have to say we were all blessed that no one was seriously injured, and it really was a good day!
