CRaZY 😜 rEaL 😜 EsTaTe 😜 sToRiEs!
This month's challenge sends me back in time to a few times when moments presented were outside the norm. These are mild compared to some salacious stories, ripe with drama, sex or downright deceit!
😜🙄😜
Settle down and take it slow now...
While out showing properties with a buyer couple, my car's odometer suddenly flipped from miles per hour to kilometers. Instead of driving approx. 45 mph, I panicked, thinking we were careening down the roadway at 70+ mph in a 50 mph zone!!! My brain finally registered that this was impossible!
I quickly pulled over to the side of the road to calm the heart rate. We all had a good laugh over that, after taking out the car's manual and correcting the odometer reading. Whew, that was extremely stressful!
😜😜😜
Not all Roses smell the same...
Accepting a buyer referral from a fellow agent in the office, I was told this person was well qualified and ready to purchase a home. After meeting Rose, we set out early morning to view several properties that hit most marks. At the end of the day, she wished to write an offer on a favorite.
Getting back to the office, we discussed terms and conditions. Apparently, Rose had a huge gold nugget in her purse that she wanted to use for earnest money. She quickly pulls it out, ready to hand it over.
Realizing she was very serious, I encouraged her to take it to a highly recommended, local jeweler to get it appraised. She agreed, left, no return or return of calls. So, it was nose goes with Rose!
🙄🙄🙄
FAMILY FIRST. And if you do not believe that, try me...
As a dedicated professional, I follow through on commitments made with few exceptions. On April 18th, 2014, my daughter-in-law started having contractions, Ruger was finally making his grand entrance to the outside world. Yay! I spent all night and the morning of the 19th at the hospital.
Exhausted and unable to drive, I called the property owner's to reschedule the planned open house that day, for another time. "No way!" was the answer and then one of them subtly hinted that I might be fired...
Rather than deal with a clear lack of compassion, I sent over the Cancellation of Contract, pulled the sign and removed the lock box that following day. No one and nothing comes before my family or my safety.
I repeat, NO ONE!!! They got the message LOUD & CLEAR.
See?! Not much to see here...LOL!
