I worked for 6 years as an agent's assistant, making flyers, running errands, etc. My boss got a new listing and sent me to take pictures. I arrive and notice a chain link fence around the entire property. I look around and see that no one else within sight has one. I also notice that there's a truck in the driveway. I knock to see if anyone's home. No one answers, so I let myself in. About half way through measuring and photographing the interior, I look through the back door and see a pair of feet propped up. I'm a little startled because this person obviously doesn't realize I'm in his house. I quickly gather my equipment and exit out the front. I walk around the side of the house to see if I can get this person's attention and let him know why I'm there and what I'm doing. As I peer around to the back, I see a deck... on the deck I see a leaning lounge-type chair... in the chair I see a man... a NAKED man.
I leave... quickly. I pull into a parking lot around the corner and call my boss.
"John... it's Ryan. This new listing you have... there was a man sunbathing in the back yard... and I think he might've been naked."
"Oh Ryan, I'm so sorry. I forgot to tell you... that man is a nudist."
I get back to the office. My bosses laugh... hard.
Luckily for me...
1. He didn't see me.
2. The angle I had didn't allow me to see anything I wouldn't be able to see at a friendly trip to the beach.
Now I am a independent real estate photographer, and I ALWAYS make voice contact with the seller before arriving at the property.
