It started out as a normal, sunny great day in Las Vegas.....Sky was blue, traffic was normal, the neighborhood I was going to show looked great! This is an extremely high end area of Henderson, Nevada and the homes all showed nice here at Horizon Ridge/Eastern.
Then the REAL fun started.
First I could'nt find the right code to open the combination to the door, as the listing agent, who works with me, listed the wrong code. no problem....call him and find out what it is.....
I called the agent, he was'nt answering his phone. What next?
I then proceeded to call my Broker, Realty World Luxury Homes Owner: Michele Sullivan. As usual, being the dependable Broker she is, she provided me with the right code to open the door. After thanking her for her support, I hung up the phone and proceeded to open the door.
My preferred lender, Brian Hammond of Prospect Mortgage has decided to sit this open house with me in case we had some traffic to the home to help pre-qualify potential buyers.
Then All Hell Broke Loose.....
5 minutes after we both had placed the signs pointing to the property, we both hear a knock at the door.
I open the door, and a lady screams: " What Are You Doing In My House?"
Don't you know I just signed docs and this is now MY HOME?
OOOOHHHHH my gawd....I was panicking to myself, never being in this position before.....
I am sorry Miss, but this house was listed in Contingency, and we did'nt know that it was going to be closed today!
The buyer, God bless her heart, softly mentioned, I know it is awkward and you did'nt know....But I just signed docs an hour ago.....My lender and I started slowly heading toward the door.....not knowing what to expect.
Make a long story short....she was cool and understood what we were doing there on the property and said everything was ok. she proceeded to tell us about how hard it was to get the bank to take care of all the pool problems in the back yard.
But WOW..... you never know what is going to happen at these open houses.....HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF SUCH STORIES????? LET ME KNOW! STEVE HARLESS - REALTY WORLD LUXURY HOMES
