I think most of us know that as a Realtor, you need to be ready for just about about anything!
But Leprechauns? Yes, today, I learned that you do!
The office that I work in is located at the base of a new condo project that was just completed at the top of the hill behind us. Lucky for us (and thanks to one of our agents) we were recently set up as the sales office.
We started offering tours and this morning I was on "tour duty" and sitting alone in the office. All of a sudden, 
I see a sorta crazy looking guy yelling and running through our parking lot wearing a huge St. Patty's hat and some other St. Patty's bling. Mind you, there is only one way in and out unless you run up a shrub and tree filled hill. He went in the parking lot and never came out. Maybe he went through the bushes? "Weird" I thought.
Five minutes later, another one runs by, again, with the St. Patty's garb, running like a drunk man and marking the ground with chalk. What the heck is going on? My husband is on the phone and tells me to call the police. Um, I forgot to mention that I am a complete freak and get spooked so easily so I was alarmed when I saw some crazy Irishmen disappearing into my parking lot.
Right then, up pulls a mini van and three women jumped out. You guessed it, they are dressed for St. Patty's day. Well, now I am not afraid to go outside. They tell me that they are setting up a water stop for a running group and marking the trail to and from our parking lot. "What? In our parking lot?" After talking to them for a bit, I find that they had no permission from anyone but it all seems harmless enough so they proceed.
After this, I walk around the front of the office to walk up the driveway next to us to show a some non-runners the condos for sale. All of a sudden I am inundated with crazy St. Patty's runners! There must have been 60 and they are running all around me and asking me to come a long with them! They are all dressed in crazy St. Patty's get ups and having a good ole' time!
Well, turns out the water stop is actually a BEER STOP! hahaha. By the time I finished showing the condos, everyone had moved on to the next stop and I never even found out where they were from!
You never know how your day is going to be in real estate, but be ready for anything, even 60 crazy, drunk leprechauns running around in your parking lot at 10:30 on Sunday morning!
