Greatest Real Estate Stories Ever Told

By
Real Estate Agent with Gilbo Realty

Real Estate Stories bookMembers of NFSTI have a very unique opportunity to go down in history by telling their true, uncut stories from the field.  There’s still time to be a part of a National Bestselling book based on the real lives of real estate agents.

Stories include:

A client who jumped out of a penthouse balcony during a showing. An agent’s first sale:  $43,000,000 (and he was on both sides of the deal) An agent who closed $110,000,000 in sales (in one day!) An agent, who mistakenly let out the Seller’s dog, only to bring back the wrong dog. Home buyers race home to their brand new purchase, directly from the closing, and find their garage missing. A broker who shows bug infested home, and runs out discarding all his clothes. An agent who shows up at wrong brokers open house, and gets arrested for breaking and entering. A home inspection that went very wrong (inspector falls through ceiling). Unusual commission payments:  all cash, sexual services, expensive cars, exotic travel, cabaret ownership, etc…

 

HURRY!!

Send in your best story. It could be an interesting listing story, incredible experiences, closing fiascos, inspection nightmares, maybe a humorous showing or even a tragedy.   If your story is selected, your name will be published along with your website.  Imagine being a contributor in what is surely going to be a “must read” with your peers and clients.

In 2009, I was showing property to a wonderful smaller older man that was just recovering from some medical problems. Although he was just getting out of a wheelchair for a walker, he and his wife were determined to buy a home in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. By the time we came to the fourth home, his body and legs were completely out of energy, but the home looked perfect.


So...after asking, I threw my client up and over my shoulder and continued to show him that home and the next. They closed on the perfect home in less than 45 days, and now it's a well known real estate story in Cashiers North Carolina.

Anything for a sale (and a new story and a new friend!).
