We just inherited a short sale about a week ago. The sign post was put  just about 6 days ago, the house has been vacant for 5 months. I get a call today from an agent who was showing the property, asking if I changed the lock box code... I said there is no code it is a Supra Box, key is inside of it. The agent proceeded to tell me there was a combination box on the front door.... hmmm what is going on?? I wondered.

She then ask me did the house sell? No I answer why, she said the sign post is gone... hmmm what the heck is going on.
I asked her if she could take a look around the property to see if she sees anything weird.

Low and behold the back window was broken, I told her to call the Sheriffs Department, and wait down the street. I was on the way. 1 hour later our fine local Sheriffs show up. I try to get into the house, and the locks have been changed,,, what the heck is going on, and yes there was a combination box, not mine. The back side gate had been pad locked closed... I don't understand, we talk to the Sheriffs for a bit, when all of a sudden a big moving truck pulls up in front of the house, and the lady comes out screaming what happened to my house...
Your house:eek: I said, what do you mean? Well we are renting it, and we are moving in today:eek: Oh my this poor women with 3 kids, paid a Realtor she says 1st and last months rent to the tune of 3700.00 to rent this house.

Oh you have got to be kidding me, here we go. I explained to her this house is on the market I'm the listing agent, it was not for rent... Oh boy!!! Well the Sheriffs took their report. I had to get the locks changed again, and get another sign post back the property.
The nerve of this criminal, I wish I would have caught him...;)
