I have had a number of humorous conversations with people, while I have been a REALTOR®. Here are two of my favorites, that I hope you enjoy.
1. I had a listing in Weston, where the owner had two dogs. For showing instructions, it said that it was appointment only, and to call for instructions.
Whenever someone would call to schedule, I would then call to confirm with the owner. Then I would instruct the agent to use the supra lockbox, and the owner would leave during that time with the dogs.
An agent was supposed to be showing in the afternoon, but called again saying that she was going to go earlier and use the lockbox. I said she had to hold on, while I checked with the owners if that time would be ok.
Agent: There are people living there?
Me: Yes. That is why the showings are by appointment, so I can schedule with the owner.
Agent: I thought it was vacant?
Me: No, someone lives there. Why did you think it was vacant?
Agent: Because I didn’t see anyone in the property photos.
2. I had a cute little house listed in Pompano, and got a lot of calls off the sign.
Him: How much is the price? How many bedrooms and bathrooms does it have?
Me: They are asking $259,000, with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths.
Him: Do they want it all at once?
Me: Yes…
