Bathroom shocker

By
Real Estate Agent with Beachfront Realty Inc.

I was out with a client showing properties.   Well, she wasn't impressed with the place at all. We make our way upstairs in the apartment and start to browse. Then suddenly as she goes to the bathroom.  At first she thought the door was just jammed because the lights were off. Apparently there was a man sitting on the toilet pushing of the door, the odor seeped through and greeted her in the face. It was like a silent drama. They were both embarrased and didn't say a thing. It all happened so quick that I couldn't believe it. The list agent said it was vacant and appeared to be. After that she ran downstairs, said "Lets change my price range". After that experience, she won't be searching for the cheapest apartment ever again.

You could have given your client a can of air freshener as a closing gift. Look at the bright side... you got your client looking in a better price range.

Many agents I interviewed for my book also frequently reported another bathroom shocker--catching someone coming out of the shower! I heard a variation of that one so much that I basically decided it was a right of passage for most real estate agents (ditto, the catching people in intimate situations), and so did not include them in my new book of war stories for and about Realtors, All In A Day's Work for Real Estate Agents: Humorous & Heartwarming Stories. Copyright is April 2009 and it features more than 100 wild, funny or touching stories from Realtors across the U.S. It was a blast to put together (although a killer on the long distance phone bill!).
