I took one of my buyers to view a home today and while doing so encountered an experience that I never would have imagined possible. I still can't put <it> together. How could this happen? The home I showed backs up to a very thick and wooded area. It's not easy to manuver around as you'll see in the video below. Usually when I walk through a backyard I anticipate the possibility of a loose dog, or perhaps a mouthy one next door. There's nothing worse than showing a buyer who is suddenly turned off by a growling dog who is scraping at the fence with anxiety and frustration. As you can imagine this doesn't always go over well with a buyer. Today I saw what I thought was a huge dog through the cracks of the fence. As I got closer I realized this couldn't have been a dog! No way. It was too big, too hairy, too bulky and too still.

I'll preface the video below by letting you know that the house we viewed was in a residential restricted neighborhood with an active HOA.

That was a great video.  THanks for starting my day with a chuckle.  Just glad it didn't happen to me.

I bet those cops use to be cowboys.  You win the prize for the craziest showing ever.  I just can't imagine what the prize will be.

I've said it before and I'll say it again . . . you have THE BEST stories ever!  I've seen some post on AR with snakes, large bugs, the assorted dogs and cats but never a small herd of bovine . . . and a mule.

The strangest thing I have run into, besides naked sellers, is an alligator pit (with a 6 ft, gator) in the family room and a black panther on the caged back porch...poor animals.

Oh that's Ha~larious!!! They were tagged too, so they'll be easy to track the owner ~ wonder if they belonged to the home owners or if they stole them. hmmmm

Was the donkey having an interspecie relationship?

It looks like the Sheriff and police officer are experienced cow herders!

it is so clever that you did immediately video on it.

Key to success: to be ready.

Too bad, that cows don't come with the house...:)

Looks like the Sherrif was pretty experienced in herding the cows.  You had me laughing hard with your narration of the video.

I sold a house with turkeys once, but never cattle ...although with the price of beef that may not be a bad amenity!

Well that is one showing you and the buyers will NEVER forget! Guess the cows didn't see the disclosure about the zoning laws. :)

I had the police shake me down a few years ago in a neighborhood in the morning because I was looking at an empty home going to foreclosure that morning. The investor was quite shocked. Just another day for me.

Greg ~ that was hysterical!  That is not something you would see here in the Denver metro area.  Technology is so wonderful these days.

Nice, this will make for a good story for years to come. I remember back in 13 I had to wrestle with cows and donkeys just to show a house. Times were tough.  I didn’t have it easy like you punk Realtors today.

Isn't that what Texas is known for--cattle? I'd be a little surprised seeing that staring back at me as well.

What a great story and surprise.  The officers handled them really well, and from the great Texas accent of the girls and the cattle, it had to be Texas.  What a great state.
