Last night at 6:00 PM I had an appointment to show a property in Tottenville. A newer Colonial tucked at the South West corner of town. It was dark and raining when I got there, and the house vacant. But, I could stand on the front step under the roof canopy and not get wet. I am working with customers with excellent credit and ready to buy. The Buyers called me from Main Street the next block over trying to find the house. I gave them directions.... The door knob had a lock box, and I retrieved the keys, and opened the door. I reached in to turn on the lights and nothing except total darkness. What? No Lights! I called the listing agent about three times when he finally returned my call. I asked, should I trip the circuit breaker, or is there some trick to turn on the lights, I don't know about? Foolish me grasping for some luck. "No, He said, the owners must have turned off the power to the house." He continued, "I told him not to turn off the electric." OK, I'll just re- schedule. The buyers arrived and were determined to look. I didn't have a flash light and they didn't either. Their 15 year old daughter came up with a great idea! She proceeded to walk into the house and flicked open her cell phone. And then there was light.
