What an adventurous day we had! Hard work, hot weather and um... just read...

One of the reasons I LOVE selling real estate in Fort Wayne is that every day is different, every day is an ADVENTURE!!  Most days are good, some days are bad, once in a while the days are boring, and some days are... well...  just

CRAZY!

After working until around 9 for the third day in a row I woke up this morning just feeling DRAINED!  After 2 cups of coffee and a Diet Dr. Pepper I finally started to feel alive again.  We had a second showing with some clients on a BEAUTIFULLY remodeled farm house and once I find out answers to a few of their questions we are going to write up an offer.  YAY!!

After that showing we headed to my mom and step dad's house for a FAMILY COOKOUT!!  My brother Ryan and his family are in town from St. George Utah so all of the 6 kids and their spouses were there, along with my dad and step mom so it was a FUN time!  Plus Ryan makes some wicked good ribs...  I could eat those every day!

We had 7 showings set up with a young couple that we have been working with for a few weeks.  They both have an incredible sense of humor and are SO much fun to work with!!  By the time we get done showing them houses our stomach's usually hurt from laughing so hard.  "Chris" has made some pretty funny comments over the weeks...

(Walking into the back yard of a house today) Dude, these trees are awesome!  I hate houses with lame trees.

Dude, these heated floors in the kicthen are SWEET!!  I mean come on, they are HEATED FLOORS!!

(After a chipmunk runs under the house) Dude, I want this house, it comes with a chipmunk!

I could go on and on but I think you get the picture about Chris.  His girlfriend is pretty cool too.  She drives a souped up Cavalier with turbo, dual exhausts, and even has race car seatbelts.  On our way to our last showing there we were, them in the Cavalier, us in the Solstice racing up Coldwater Road.  How FUN is that?  Racing your clients!  I know, I need to grow up.

So here comes the best part of the day:

We pull up to the last house.  Not much curb appeal.  House had some ad ons and looked pretty janky to be honest.  The showing instructions said "Front door is open.  Please leave unlocked when you leave".  I don't understand this one at all.  The weird thing was that there were two bikes laying in the drive way.  I just thought it was a couple of kids messing around... no big deal. 

I WAS WRONG

I knocked on the door as I opened it and announced myself.  I didn't see anybody.  I yelled again.  Nothing.  Then Chris said

"HEY!!!!  THERE ARE PEOPLE BACK THERE AND THEY ARE DOING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Yup.  There they both were, scrambling to put their clothes on.  The woman comes out and says that they had called the name on the sign because they wanted to buy the house but nobody had called them back!  She said she had money for a down payment and could get qualified easily but since nobody called her back she just stopped by the house every day hoping somebody would show up.

WELL SOMEBODY DID!!  LOL!!!!!!!

I gave her a business card and told her to call me if she was serious.  They left and we all had a good laugh!!!

I LOVE SELLING REAL ESTATE IN FORT WAYNE!!!  Every day is different...

Jared - I have a Realtor friend who encountered the same thing in Houston once, but it was two agents at a home that was on a tour!  They picked the wrong vacant house that day!
