STRANGER than Fiction

Hey AR-ers: I thought it might be fun to share some  "strange" events we've experienced in our Real Estate career. For instance on showings, agent tours, writing contracts, etc.  I'll start.

Oregon 2003: A client called me one morning and asked to preview a home I had e-mailed him. I said sure and we agreed to meet at the house in question.  I printed out the listing info and read under "confidential" remarks: Use caution while showing. Tenant has alligator in home.

I thought this was a joke, but I called the Realtor just the same. She assured me there was, indeed, an alligator in the home but that it was kept in a big aquarium.

At the home, my client standing behind me, I took the key out of the lock box and s-l-o-w-l-y opened the front door. I looked to the left, looked to the right and out of the corner of my eye I saw something moving on the fireplace mantle. THE ALLIGATOR was stretched out across the mantle, staring at me and I at him.

I turned and asked my client IF he wanted to go in? He said yes and I said, you're on your own, but I'll watch your back--from this door.

Need-less-to-say, I did NOT sell that house. Thankfully!

RAINERS--Have I got a CHALLENGE for you!

(part of this is pasted from my personal little BLOG): I was watching Oprah the other day (some days I do, some days I don't) and this pastor from a little Kansas Church was on the show talking about the purple bracelett he was wearing. The reason? Well, he came up with the idea of a World FREE of complaints. CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE? I am not sure I could go half a day. BUT, I ordered two--one for myself and one for a friend. We've decided to take the challenge. It's a 21 days challenge. You wear the PURPLE bracelett you order on your left wrist for 21 days staright--NO complaining. If, during the 21 days, you complain, you switch the bracelett to your right wrist. And so on and so on and so on...until you've made it 21 straight COMPLAIN-FREE days.

As WE all know in our line of biz--the World of Real Estate-- it is  SO difficult at times NOT to complain. If for no other reason but to release stress and frustration. We have plenty of reasons to complain most of the time. But what if we didn't? How could, or would,  we handle those moments when we're bursting at the seams to tell someone, anyone, who will listen to your gripe of the day?  I DON'T know myself. But I am going to give it a whirl. If you're curious about this challenge, check out the link below. I DARE ya!

Go to the pastor's church site and read about it AND if you're brave, ORDER one! Click this if you dare... http://acomplaintfreeworld.org
