I was holding an open house at the condo conversion project that I live at this weekend, and we have 8 condos that are presently ready to sell and have lock boxes on them. But, only one model home I usually keep open, and if someone wants to see one of the other units we walk down to it and check it out.
Well, I have another weird situation to present to my fellow Active Rainers that have started to call me the "King of Weird Happenings", and I guess I am keeping the title for a little longer. But, if any of you would please, oh please, come take the title from me, I promise I won't mind.
Today someone stopped off at the model unit and everything was going good and they wanted to see one of the one bath versions. So we walked down to the other end of the complex and started to walk in to the condo. So far, so good, until the client opened the unlocked bathroom door, and there sits an agent that apparently thought either their home, or office, were too far away to use their own restroom and thought a vacant condo unit would be a good choice for a bathroom break.
This agent didn't bring a client, just saw our project and, I guess, thought that they would be safe. Uh - Guess you were wrong Mr. Agent and sorry to have to embarrass you, but, lock the door man, or say something when you heard us come in.
I would never, ever think about using a vacant home or even a listed home that I wasn't holding open myself as a rest stop along the showing route. I am really thinking this was abuse of the lockbox key, but that is just me. I'm hoping he learned something from this today, but if not, I am really hoping I'm not the one that has to catch it next time.
