75 Comments on Nightmare on Hancock Street. A true story...
Exit Hill - Stephanie is a great writer for sure. Looks like she has another calling !
Sheldon - Cheers !!! Thanks : )
Tere - It is in all of us !
Rochelle - The clients enjoyed it just as much. We all got a kick out of it. Was a lot of fun : )
Cameron - No way !! That is in the next chapter !
Hi Chris, Very entertaining story but I don't think I would have gotten in the elevator either!
Good story, thanks for sharing!

We've all had our share of strange showing appointments, but most would probably say that meat packing plant was not in their repetoire!
Regina - Yes ! It is one of the fringe benefits of our career.
Anna - I think that is a great idea !
Jason - Agreed ! I think we are too serious sometimes so this is a great change of pace.
Jeff - I hear you ! It was Stephanie that wrote this one though - she is much more creative than I am. Although I am working on it !! : )
Norma - It keep it very interesting for sure !
HI Chris,
That was quite funny and creative! I live in South Jersey and have shown some interesting old factories here, but nothing like that. I'm with Len and Barb, though...NOT gettin' in that elevator!!! LOL Thanks for sharing that.

What an adventure touring the building and it sounds like an opportunity to view. I would not have gotten in the elevator though.
Fun story - I thought sure you were going to be stuck in a dark elevator. Glad you came out alive. :)
great story, hard to top. I did go to a xmas party at san quentin prison once, but it was not for sale!
I think I would have gotten the creepy-crawlies just from the listing agent telling me to be careful. Great job telling the story. I think the photo with the hook would have been scarier if you weren't smiling so big. Or maybe that is the scary part.
well put together Christopher, I was expecting a ghost or something, it does make it interesting to go see that building, maybe you ought to let the listing agent see what you wrote and what the comments are, perhaps he/she can see some advertising ideas here.

Great blog. I love going through old buildings. My husband begs to go with me when I have an appointment at an historic home or building.
Absolutely wonderful description - I loved it! Thanks for posting!

Christopher and Stephanie- You guys are much braver than I am. I would be scared to death, I would not go in at all especially after reading what goes on in those plants in the book Fast Food Nation. Just the thought, makes me want to throw up. :) You are brave! Katerina
Robert - Quite memorable for sure !
Hannah - Yes, Stephanie wrote this one. I think it is a sign that I can be too serious : )
Judi - That is awesome. Curious to know who the buyer was for the slaughter house you sold. Did they use it for the same purpose ?
Chris - We should put that ominous music in the post !
Carole - The space is really amazing ! Great story behind it too : )
Mara - Yes the buyer helped out with the photos. Stephanie and the buyers had a great time !
Richard- LOL, just wait for the sequel !
I like the theatrics of this post! Keep up the good work.
Whoa. Your pics make it seem more to it. Would be great for a post in October too.
Dawn - The photos came out great for sure !
Steve - Hopefully Stephanie does not have this evil side that I am not aware of !!!!
Heather - Yes, I hope that Stephanie does not leave real estate to write a thriller novel now. She does have some great writing talent : )
Robin and Sue - Yes, that is Stephanie with the meat hook ! I think this post will give them some additional marketing exposure !! Is such a cool place.
Joan- You are right that Realtor safety is a big issue. And important. This is a great story and we are not trying to be too scary or "risky" per se. A police escort was not necessary although I could see why some may ask for that : )
Renee - That is what I told Stephanie ! I think it is our best. I can be too serious most of the time.

Very cooooool listing. It'll be interesting to see how the property re-invents itself.
Christine - LOL, I hear you ! Light and airy is great !
Anthony - Yes we were very pleased with the photos.
Dean - Yes, this place would be awesome for lofts or some sort of cool conversion.
Russ- LOL, Sometimes reading a whole post is a challenge. I am glad this one kept your attention as it is a great story !
Matt - I hope Stephanie was not infected with some sort of evil virus after showing the Meat Factory. She is so strong I'm sure she will be fine ! Yes, being in Philly certainly provides for a lot of unique excitement and opportunity in the real estate world as there are so many old building and neighborhoods changing and growing as well as a lot of fabulous development. We hope it continues !
