A Celebrity in the House... Who knew???

By
Real Estate Agent with Janisch & Co. 0396361

A couple of weeks ago our doorbell rang.  

 

There is a for sale sign in our yard and when I went to see what was up,  a white mini van was departing from the curb.

 

I had not finished the morning cleaning so I could not have let anyone in if I had gotten to the door in time.

 

A few minutes later a call came in from a gentleman asking to see the house.

 

We agreed upon a time and the folks came . 

 

They liked the house but said it was smaller than they wanted.

 

As they were leaving the gentleman who had told us he was affiliated with the church just over the fence from our house.  He also said "although the house is not just what we need,  what would you take if we were just to write a check?"

 

We had not considered an as is right away transaction.  We told him we would talk about it and suggested that he call us back.

 

He never did.  But while he was touring the house he mentioned  that he was only here for a few more days.  He was working on a recording project close by.

 

When the smoke cleared from the whirlwind tour,  Ralph looked up his website.  www.johnmichaeltalbot.com 

 

John Michael Talbot


The man is a well known Christian musician and minister.  Who knew?

 

We mentioned his name to a friend who was visiting us later in the week. She was astounded (almost fell off her chair) and very impressed!  Come to find out,  our visitor is scheduled to do a concert at our Church in August.

 

Small world!  Wonder if the visit from him would have been different if we had been aware of his celebrity status?

How interesting, I thought for sure this story was going in a different direction like a scam.  Too bad, he could not spend more time to work out a deal with you.

Thanks for sharing your interesting experience.  The church looks like a good home purchase prospect.
