I like taking practice runs to avoid getting lost, learning land marks, and to avoid being late. I have even done a practice run to test out a supra key! Yet it seems there is always the exception, and today I learned the hard way.
I met with a nice couple eager to see a potential home early in the morning. All was going well. We spoke about our pleasant weekend and drove to our destination. I opened the combo lock box and retrieved the key, just eager to have them step inside. I unlocked the bottom lock and then tried the top lock. I could see us writing up the offer... and then it all came to an abrupt end, like a scratched lp record. I jiggled, pulled, and twisted, all to no avail. I was quick to apologize, excused myself, and proceeded to call the listing agent for further instructions. Of course, he was destined to not answer.
If I only would have done the practice run, oh how i wish I had! What a way to start a week!
