I had a call from a customer who wanted to get in to see a rental property. Easy enough, right? I called for showing instructions and was told i had to speak to the Property Manager. I left her a message. The next day, the customer asked again and I called for the Property Manager and left message #2. Day 3, The customer called and I called back to ask if there was a way to get showing instructions for this VACANT property. I was then told that the Property Manager was out with the flu. Nice. I asked if anyone could provide me with the showing instructions and they transferred me to another agent. Here's where it gets good!

I was told that there process is that I would have to send a FAX of my Real Estate License to their office and once I did this, I would have the priviledge of receiving the combination on their VACANT home. Memories of the Brady Bunch ran through my head but I called my office and had a co-worker do this for me. I finally got the code and when we got to the house, it was trashed. Holes in the walls, dirty and not well maintained at all. Good thing they protected it from the public so well. A day later, I got a call to say that it was being removed from the market. What a loss.
