Scary Moments While Touring Homes
It's Friday the 13th, November 2020. The spookiest thought I could come up with was the scary things I have seen while touring properties with my buyers. Guns was a topic I covered in greater detail on a my personal blog, along with true stories of careless sellers who were gun owners. Needless to say, guns should not be left in closets or on tables for anyone to find.
Another scary moment involved a snake. We knew the snake would be in the home, in a terrarium. However, when we got to the home the big question was, "Where's the snake?" It wasn't in the terrarium. (gulp) Needless to say, since the snake was described as a cobra in the listing, we made our way out in short order.
As a pet owner, my heart skipped a beat when a house kitty who I was given strict instructions to not let out of the house, bolted as soon as I unlocked the door. I tackled that cat in nothing flat in one of the rudest introductions that cat has ever known. I took her back into the home and tried to make nice, but she ran for cover. She was safe and sound back inside, but that was a scary moment, particularly since the home fronted a major byway.
Last night, while unlocking a door with an oval glass insert with decorative lead designs inside, I saw a figure walk across the vacant home from one side to the other. Not a peep out of them. My buyer kept telling me he thought I just imagined it. Meanwhile, I walked around the first floor looking around, waiting to have a paranormal moment. It wasn't until he took the door from the kitchen to the back yard that he jumped a foot and encountered the figure I had seen walk across my field of view. It was a workman getting out of our way, not wanting to make a fuss.
Heart stopping moments definitely happen while we are out touring property. Do you have any to share?
