Anyone that has been in real estate for a while has likely been presented with many situations that could get them in a lot of trouble, whether it be physically, mentally, or otherwise. This challenge for March should be fairly easy for anyone who is not brand new to the real estate industry and I am happy that I am seeing a lot of participation.
The last scenario that I figured I would share was back in the days when short sales and foreclosures were prevalent. I was out with buyers that were also close friends. Inside one of the homes, I was off with the husband in the kitchen while the wife was exploring on her own, as she would always do. I heard her say "oh, hello" and the way she said it I thought she found something interesting in one of the rooms. She did indeed find something interesting but it was not at all what I expected, haha. As I was going to see what she had found a stranger walked by me and out the front door. She came out and said that the guy was in the bathroom, not using it, just hiding, haha. Apparently, someone that might have been homeless was using the home since he knew that it was vacant. Luckily, all ended well, but that certainly was a scary situation at the time. I immediately called the listing agent and she was shocked but not surprised. She said that she would have the locks changed and the home secured to hopefully prevent this from happening again. We continued on with our day of seeing homes, but from then on out I led the way through the homes and made sure they were free and clear before we entered them, haha.
I look forward to reading all of the other posts entered into this challenge and hearing the crazy things that others have come upon during their careers in real estate.
