funny situations maybe even wild situations

By
Real Estate Agent with ReMax Unlimited Northwest

Have you ever showed a home or was selling a home when a situations was so funny or so wild you had to tell your fellow agents about...

Once I was showing homes to a buyer.. I made appointments and most of the townhouses were vacant or no one was home..

We got to our last one, I knocked on the door and rang the bell--- no reply

so I used the supra ( boy do we get ripped off on that system) and YELLED OUT , HELLO,  IS ANY ONE HOME???

again no reply.............

We looked at the first floor, on the way up the stairs we saw the (FAMILY PHOTOS)  one lady and two dogs.

We were laughing outloud and making a lot of terrible comments........

SHES EVEN UGLIER THEN HER DOGS.............  THATS WHAT HER KIDS WOULD LOOK LIKE........ECT,,,  NOT VERY NICE STUFF 

but, we were having some fun at the end of a long day... 

My buyer was a younger guy who was pretty sarcastic..

as we got to the top of the stairs........

the door opened and out came the lady of the house...      we were stunned , and couldnt stop laughing to ourselves.

We said hello and continued to show..  Ive have learned to be less vocal on my joking when showing....

I have heard many stories from agents, buyers and sellers.. good, bad and wild....  Got any to add????

Per the listings agent's instructions, I called the owner to schedule a showing. It was short notice, but we were in the area.

"Oh sure, please do come right over" the owner said.

We arrived, rang the bell, and the owner opened the door.

She was stark naked. Not a stitch of clothing on.

My client and I just stood there, dumbfounded. She encouraged us to come in and to be honest, I didn't know what to do. So I stumbled out, "Uh, maybe we should come back later."

She said it was fine, and she'd just "hang out" in the backyard and stay out of our way. We blew through the house and left very quickly. When we got in the car, all the client could say was, "Does that happen very often?"

And no, she was not someone you'd like to see naked.

Had a showing where the ( pretty lady was home and fully dressed...  She was on the phone in the kitchen...

My buyers ( a couple ) and I were looking in the living room..  I was showing him a crack in the wall and it was behind her oversized recliner chair.  I looked behind the chair and.......................

Jackpot!!!!!!!!

She had toys toys toys   all adult ones.. One was half out of the package--- ( kingkong..??? )  Of course his wife came over and looked too...

We looked at the house more ,  as we were leaving, I made a comment,

"Nice recliner"  , Im sure she figured it out. She probably wanted us to find them??????
