Okay, this is my last blog entry for the night. So, let's end it on a note that is sour, and will leave you shaking your head.

A few weeks ago, my wife was working the updesk. Someone called and wanted to see a home that was listed in our office, but was not my wife's (or my) listing. So, she proceeded to look the details of the home up on the computer.

The property was vacant, so showing it was no problem. She gave the caller the basic information about the home and set the time to show the house (within the next 30 minutes). As my wife began to qualify the caller, the caller identifies herself as a agent as well. My wife was furious, but the story gets more astounding. The agent on the other end of the phone still wanted my wife to drive out and open the property up...talk about nerve. But here's the sad part...the property had a combo lock box on it.

It would be one thing (still annoying) if the other agent didn't have her key to open the lockbox, and it was one of my listings. But to require a non-listing agent to come open a property with a lock box is just stupid. Don't mis-understand...the other agent was fully aware of the facts. She was just too lazy to do this herself. When my wife inquired (out of shear curiosity) as to why, the other agent could offer no defense except she wanted help opening the house.

Now, in retrospect, I wonder if this was someone trying to set my wife up and lure her into a dangerous situation. If so, talk about your stupid criminals.
