THE CRAZY SIDE OF REAL ESTATE

Working in the Real Estate business is great because
each day brings something new an different. 
 
Sometimes those days are a little crazy...
like the week one of our Realtors® had a little while back. 
 
Enjoy her story and have a laugh on us!
 
     "Years ago, I had buyers visiting from out of state who wanted to look at houses in the hopes of relocating to Maine.  The morning I was to meet them, they arrived at my office and had two little dogs with them.  The dogs needed a bathroom break before we ventured out to view the days selection of houses.  Mrs. Buyer took them for a little walk on the hill behind my office while I went in to grab some information about the properties we were viewing.  As I was gathering my paperwork, I heard moaning from the window.  I looked out to see my client laying on the ground while the dogs were running around.  Mrs. Buyer had slipped on some ice on the hill and broken her leg.  It turned out that she would need surgery while they were here visiting Maine."

 
"The next day, Mr. & Mrs. Buyer decided to drive by some homes.  While doing this their car broke down.  I got a call asking me to pick them up at Mr. Bob's repair shop and give them a ride to pick up a rental car.  After renting a car to drive while theirs was being repaired,  Mr. & Mrs. Buyer had an accident, backing into another car while driving the rental car...but they were still determined to find a new home." 
"Mrs. Buyer had to go into surgery for her broken leg, but Mr. Buyer and I met to continue the search.  Mr. Buyer did not want to leave his dogs behind, so he insisted on taking the rental car.  So there I was, in the passenger seat with two dogs on my lap as we rode around viewing houses." 
 
Despite their bad luck, Mr. & Mrs. Buyer did buy a house in Maine
and as far as I know still live there today!
