People Are Whacked

[Johnskiismore]

So, this lady walks into my office this morning, and it goes like this.....

I'm looking for an old house

-Anywhere in particular?

An old house, from 5 to 150 miles from here, maybe even Vermont. Anything in Massachusetts?

-We only do NH, but I will search for homes if you'd like.

If you'd like? I don't trust REALTORS, they lie

-Okay, I can search but there will be many properties, what is you price range?

Price range? 100K-400K

-I see that in Grafton County alone, there's 540 properties for sale in that price range. Now I will have to search property by property to see what year they were built.

How about here in Lincoln? We're in Lincoln right? *no sh%t she said that.. and for the record I knew this was going no where!*

-Here's a house that was built in 1941..

No, no, I said between 1900 and 1920! ----she said no such thing

-Well, how about this, let me give you a website that is very easy to navigate. You can go town by town, enter a price range and the like. I'll write on the back of my card, and if you find something that you like, I will be happy to assist you.

Well thank for the website, but I'll probably use someone else.

-Okay, bye!

She leaves....... and comes right back in says, are these your car keys?

-Yes they are

Why do I have them?

-No idea, take care

Slam

You never know who will walk in!

Realtors have some great stories. You must see some scary homes. I've seen some wacky shit just looking for homes. (bathtub in kitchen ...)

 

[Trekchick]

My office....
Customer: Why don't my toilets flush
Me: Because you have too many solids in your septic tank and its blocking the inlet pipe
Customer: No, that's not it. Are any of the guys around that I can talk to?

Candid Camera?

She must not know about the interweb yet.

Would not put it past her!

Showing a house in Campton one time, the listed property had tenants and all we had to do was call. I called, the tenant said, 'That's cool' Show up at the property and there he is with his girlfriend at the kitchen table... taking hits off a bong (and not it was not tobacco), in their underwear, at 9:30AM.... and proceeded to offer my customer (who had her kids with her) a hit.... she didn't buy the place.

Something tells me that those tenants weren't all that interested in the property actually selling...

When i see things like that I start checking around to see if they has anyone there to assist them. She lost her marbles and needs help.

Another thing to consider is that this woman may be a decoy for someone playing a big scam on you.

Nobody said you have to be smart to buy/sell a house. In a town I used to live in, long ago and far away, a family used to live down the street from us that had a very low IQ. I mean all of them, parents and kids. Dropped out of school in 6th grade when they were 16, like clockwork. They somehow owned a house and quite a bit of farmland. Nobody knows how they came upon it, and they were never articulate enough to explain. It was a ramshackle, with animals (goats, pigs, cows) running everywhere, including inside the house. They married other low IQ folks and just inbred. Never bothered anyone, no civil unrest or problems. The oldest boy would walk miles for a 2-hour job as a janitor. I remember trying to persuade the oldest boy to stay in school, to no avail. What was I thinking. I learned an important lesson that day.

I actually did watch her cross the street, get in her car and drive away in what appeared to be a safe manner. Think she really doesn't like REALTORs, and is a little on the whackbag side. In her brief visit in the office she wanted answers NOW, didn't understand why I didn't have every property printed out, and said I acted like the last REALTOR. She was asking me information on properties across three states, so if the last agent had a little look of confusion... can understand why!

You should've said, no they're gone until Monday..... look like you're up s^&t's creek unless you listen to me!

How old was she? Early onset of dementia, perhaps?
