Drive through closing, now that's new!

I recently heard about an agent who had a closing at a Dunkin Donuts coffee shop.  It wan't really a drive through closing, they actually met inside and performed the ritual.  Not only is it new, but it's Maine! 

The story got better when the the buyers discovered in the back yard weeks later (large yard with snow) that the previous owner decided not to move with their 900 lb. pig, and took it out back and shot it!  Additionaly if you can believe this, the sellers also must have been having trouble with the facilities in the home and preceded to use the side of the house as a restroom for a week or two prior to the closing, 

All of this in the dead of winter in Maine.  Small town yes, rural yes, unbelievable...I thought so, but it's true.  I could only laugh and think, thank god it didn't happen to me or one of my clients!  Can you beat this?

Hi Paul - I can't beat that and hope I never do.  That's an amazing story.  I had one closing with a cash buyer where I was sent the forms, had to meet with my buyer and have him sign the forms, and then hand deliver the paper work to the title company.  Fortunately my buyer's wife is an attorney and she was able to review everything before he signed.

Jon, I hope you never have a story better than that as well, couldn't believe it myself.

Lynn, small towns can create interesting stories can't they?  Best of luck in 09 for you as well!
