Well lets just say I have had many funny stories in my real estate career...BUT this one takes the cake!! I've decided to blog about this tonight because I laughed the entire 20 minute ride home tonight after my client called to tell me that he just was asked to be this man's BEST MAN in his upcoming wedding!
It all started like this:
A few months ago I had a contract on a home I had listed and there were very small survey issues to the tune of $250.00. The other agent and myself agreed we would split the cost and everybody would be happy.....or so we thought!!
Both the seller and purchaser had NO CLUE of letting us do that instead they wanted to argue back and forth. Long story short...........The lawyer doing the settlement thought it was a GREAT idea to get all parties involved at the house and get this worked out.....myself and the other agent TOTALLY disagreed but all the other parties were all for it.
MEETING DAY: Both seller & purchaser and REALTORS met at the home...all was going well until my seller smarted off and the purchaser HIT HIM!! Yes the purchaser hit him. Well then they were rolling around on the ground fighting till death...the other REALTOR ran and got in her van and locked the doors the neighbors called the police and I stand there trying to get in between both of these grown men ready to kill the lawyer!!!
Police arrive and both seller and purchaser have to go to the hospital because they are HURT!! I'm so mad at both of them I refuse to go to the hospital and the other REALTOR has disappeared on me..she was scared to death. I called my broker to inform him of what happened and he is speechless and we just know this deal is DONE!!
Well hang on it gets alot better!! I get a call from my client he is at hospital in the bed RIGHT BESIDE THE PURCHASER!! The only thing in between them was a curtain??? Apparantly the doctor didnt realize these were the two fighting. My client informs me that they have "MADE UP" and everything is fine... they will be splitting the $250.00 survey cost and they will be responsible for there own doctor bills. I was so mad I could have strangled both of them after I took out the lawyer that is!
Oh it really gets good now! Later that night both REALTORS get a call from them and they inform us they are at a local bar at "HAPPY HOUR"!! One has broken ribs the other had to have stitches and there drinking there pain away NOW good friends!
We went to closing all was fine....THERE HAPPY!! Then call comes in today that my client will be the BEST MAN in the purchaser's wedding!! WOW!
My client was tickled that I found this so amusing that I had to pull over. GO FIGURE!!
Oh and the other REALTOR who was from out of town hasnt been back since!!
Thats my story! I guess you could say it had a happy ending??
