Do you have clients with a sense of humor? I hope so!

Today I visited a special client who purchased a home from me a couple of years ago. I love her whimsy fun collection of pigs.

Take a look at a couple of photos from this home today. Each one could command its own post..but for tonight I will just share a few.

There have been other collectors over the years in my real estate career. One man had a complete room filled with his turtle collection. I've seen a home devoted to frogs, an entire area filled with trains, dolls, chairs, owls, giraffes, butterflies and a few other collections.

What Do Your Clients Collect? It is fun when you have people with a sense of humor and aren't afraid to show it.

Jenifer, We do have wonderful people that make our business fun.

Sharon, Not to worry. Left you a message earlier. This collection is all miniatures..did you see the salt and pepper shakers.

Fay, A sense of humor is a must in this business.

Evelyn, That's not a collection...that's a cluttering.

Ellie, This is a collection in a beautiful piece of furniture with glass doors. How dare you call my clients quirky!

I often see lots and lots of Longaberger baskets. One of my clients paid for her divorce by selling her baskets.

I was in a very large home once where virtually every room was a collection of sorts. It was almost a museum.

I had a seller a few years back whose deceased husband had a war room - literally a room filled with guns, knives, sabers, flags, and a whole host of other WWII memorabilia.

Fun collection of pigs Margaret. If my clients don't have a sense of humor, I'm probably not the right person for them to be working with...........

Love it!

A few years ago we owned a potbelly pig. She was the greatest little pet in the world. Due to zoning we had to give her up. This put a smile on my face. :)

I would love to see photos of that potbelly pig. Guess the neighbors complained?

Athena our pet pig says she approves of this collection and clearly this person has a love for the right type of animal.

Roger, I have a feeling your clients have that sense of humor!

Tom, I know of no one who collects turkeys ecept on Thanksgiving and on a few certain real estate transactions..lol. Wait I do have a wild turkey photo...I will be back.

Jeff, I would think that war room did not help sell the property.

Todd, Would love to hear more about Athena! Does she blog? I know pigs are really smart. Please tell us more.

Gail, So glad to be able to make you chuckle!

When I was the sales manager for a commercial cleaning company I had a client who was an avid hunter. The office had taxidermied animals in their "natural habitat" posed in every room office. I think the mannequin he had posed in a chair across from his desk just may have been his ex-wife!
