Wild Animals couldn't sell this house, lots of creatures in game room

Wild things would be mild for this house I sold 4-5 years ago. You are seeing less than 50% of the collection in what the seller called his "game room". this was his families hobby over the last 50 years. the family was in the shipping business. i was not the listing agent but the selling agent several months later. The listing agent knwe she had the get the seller to pack the gang up as the focus of the house, you guessed it!!!! The room was 40x30 with this giant bathroom and sauna at one end. Talk about hobbies to overcome when selling. Laura finally got the seller to put these guys in a storage zoo unitl she could get the house sold. It made me remember the home. Met a nice lady and her daughter at an open house and gave them some ideas as to what was out there. I had my laptop with me and showed them how I could narrow their search down to a few. Gave them my card. They called the next day and wanted to see 2 homes that I suggested. One was the game room home and another one in Metairie. The lady said as we left this one that was a possible. The next one we stayed about 5 minutes and she said this was not me. She would think about it. She called me several hours later and said she wanted it and can her husband see it. He liked it,it was a cash sale and we closed in 4 weeks. Shows you what open houses can do?

It is a great relationship. I sold the daughter a nice home the next year, sold her house in 2 weeks, sold her college age daughter a condo later in the year. This is a roll all from an Open House. They called me a couple of weeks ago to sell this house so they could move closer to their daughter. I went and looked at the house. helped them get a handyman to fix some hurricane damage. I told them it owould be better to wait until next spring to put the home on the market. Katrina and more expensive homes have not done well. Not many agents are going to do this but when you have a great client you try to give them the best advice possible. o this was a story about the animals, open houses and repeat business. This was my first digital camera but I saved the photos because not many people are going to have this many wild ones in a game room.
