Share your horrible real estate agent stories.

I once had a client who seemed really nice at first. But during a property viewing, he started acting really strange. He was asking me really personal questions that made me uncomfortable. And then he started following me a bit too closely as we walked through the house. I got really scared and ended the viewing early. I was so relieved when he left.

One common story is when agents over - promise and under - deliver. For example, they say they'll get you a great price for your house, but in the end, you end up with much less than expected. Another is when they don't communicate well. You're left in the dark about offers, showings, etc.

There was this real estate agent who was dealing with a very difficult client. The client seemed normal at first, but as the process went on, they started making strange demands and acting erratically. They would call the agent at all hours of the night and threaten to back out of the deal if their demands weren't met. The agent was constantly on edge, fearing for their reputation and safety. Eventually, they had to cut ties with the client, but it was a very nerve - wracking experience.

There is this horrible real estate story about a person who rented an apartment. The landlord was really sneaky. He would enter the apartment without permission while the tenant was away. One day, the tenant came back to find some of their personal items missing. It turned out the landlord had been going through their stuff and had taken some things. The tenant had to go through a long and difficult legal process to get justice.

One common type is about hidden structural problems. For example, a house might look fine on the outside but has a cracked foundation that the buyer discovers only after purchase. Another type is false advertising. Like when a realtor claims a property has a large backyard but in reality it's just a small patch of grass. Also, there are stories about bad landlords who don't maintain the property or who harass tenants.

There was a real estate agent who sold a house to a family. Later, it was discovered that the house had a dark past of a murder that had been covered up. The family started experiencing strange occurrences like cold spots and doors opening on their own. The agent was then haunted by guilt and the family's distress, as he had no idea about the house's history before selling it.

Sure. There was this one agent who showed a house to a client. While they were inside, a raccoon suddenly ran through the living room. The agent chased it around with a broom, all while the client was just watching in shock and laughter.

Another great success story is of Mark. He decided to target first - time homebuyers. He created a series of educational videos about the home - buying process. These videos were very popular on YouTube. He also offered free consultations. His approachable nature and the useful information he provided made him the go - to agent for many first - time buyers. As a result, he closed a large number of deals and became a successful real estate agent.

There was an agent who showed a house to a family. The family loved it and made an offer. But the agent then received a higher offer from another party secretly and pushed the first family out of the deal without giving them a chance to match it. It was really unethical.

Once an agent was taking pictures of a house for the listing. As he was in the bedroom, the homeowner's pet parrot started mimicking him saying 'This is a great room, this is a great room'. The agent was so startled at first but then found it hilarious and included the parrot's voice in the video tour, which made the listing really stand out.
