In real estate, Buyer and Sellers say the
darndest things!
Here are some stories, observations and quotes from our actual clients and customers...
After entering a particular home for sale, our buyer (the husband) said, "I'd rather have my eyes gouged out than have to look at this place every day."
Another buyer's daughter said, "Yes, we want the house - asbestos and all!"
Ty has accidentally created a new term for "square feet." While on the phone with buyers, he often says, "that home has approximately (so many) squeet." So while he's trying to get past it and remain professional, I'm laughing and laughing...
In a nice home on York, the new owners were having the carpet professionally cleaned. There was apparently a large group of stains in the middle of the formal dining room that the cleaners tried and tried to get out and finally gave up. Soon after, the new homeowners discovered the chandelier was casting a stain-like shadow on the carpet that fooled everyone!
Some styles of homes or decor deserve names, but to spare the owners, we won't disclose which houses inspired these:
The exterior of one home was named Concrete Smear.
One was called Neo-Diarrhea.
A particular bathroom inspired the name Beetlejuice Goes to Paris.
Additional service we provide:
Jennifer's husband was out of town when she got the keys to their first house, so Ty carried her over the threshold!
As we remember them and as they happen, we'll add more real estate funnies here.
