This past Friday, I was going to show a foreclosure to some clients of mine. Do to their work schedule we were to meet at the house around 8:30 p.m. Now I typically do not show vacant homes at this hour, however I have been working with this couple for some time now. I got to the property first, it was very dark, in the mountains and to my surprise their was a tree that had fallen across the driveway. I decided to lock my self in and wait for them to arrive. A neighbor driving by stopped (scared me a bit) and I asked if I needed help or if I was okay. I assured them I was fine and explained I was a Realtor and my clients soon to arrive. He left and soon my clients did pull in. We took our flash lights and navigated through the down tree and viewed the home. The power was on at the house (I knew this before I went up there in the dark) and my clients loved it!! I locked up and we made it back to our cars, as my clients backed out another car approached. My clients headed out and as I went to back out the other car pulled in behind me, followed by blue lights! A nice police man approached my car and wanted to know what I was doing at a vacant home. I did my entire I am a Realtor deal and then the policeman started talking about the market. I of course asked him if he as thinking of buying or selling a home. He is indeed looking to buy and no he did not have a Realtor. I let him keep the card I gave him to show I was in fact a Realtor, not a burglar. Now I have another buyer. It goes to show it is all in how you network!
Do you have a odd or funny story of how you met one of your clients?

As the water level falls at Lake Lanier, so are home prices. The lake is about 17 feet below full, leaving many docks with little or no water. Not a pretty picture, especially in the midst of a housing slump.
"They're just not selling if they have low water," appraiser Mary Thompson said Tuesday. "People are kind of waiting and watching."
A house that two years ago would have been priced at $1.2 million might be 25 percent to 30 percent less today, in large part because of the drought, Realtor Teresa Smith said. The drought accounts for much of the markdown because "people have the impression there's no water in Lake Lanier," she said.
Meager sales mean an elevated number of lakeside homes - about 400 - are on the market. That's brought out the bargain hunters.
"Most people believe they can now make offers on homes that are 50 or 60 cents on the dollar, and that's just not true," Smith said. There are only so many lake homes, she said.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which manages the lake because it's a reservoir, will allow a maximum of 10,615 boat slips and just 150 remain, Realtor Pete Edwards said.
"The drought is making it more difficult to sell homes, but it's the smaller of the two problems we're living with" - the other being the depressed housing market, Edwards said. He said droughts are infrequent if you go back to 1956, the first year Lake Lanier was full.
Still, "for people who don't understand Lake Lanier, they tend to hesitate quite a bit," Edwards said. But waiting until spring, when docks might be in water again, could be costly.
