Today I was showing homes to a Canadian couple seeking a sunny getaway from Vancouver. We had toured several homes in different neighborhoods and came to one of our final homes. 78098
I could not locate the lock-box, and there was no "for sale sign", but the address was correct, so my weary buyers strolled up the side of the house and settled into the lounge chairs on the patio, (with gorgeous golf course views) and waited for me to gain entry. 
I phoned the agent's assistant and asked where to find the lock-box... she said the address did not sound familiar. But I was holding the MLS print-out in my hand, with address, agent, etc. It was her listing!
She called me back a few minutes later and said " there has been an MLS GLITCH... our listing is 78118."
So we walked up the street... ( after my clients had fallen in love with the patio that was not for sale ) and found her real listing. Not quite the patio they had in mind.
How funny if the owners had come home to find us lounging on their patio? Perhaps we could have made an offer!
Do you believe this was "an MLS GLITCH"... or agent error? Has this ever happened to you?
