estate agent funny stories

One memorable story is when an estate agent was showing a house and a cat that lived there jumped on his head out of nowhere. He just continued talking as if it was normal. Another is an agent who misread the address and took clients to the wrong house entirely. They all had a good laugh when they realized the mistake.

Sure. One time an estate agent showed a couple a house. The couple asked if the place was haunted. The agent, trying to be funny, said 'Only by the ghost of good taste!' Another story is an agent accidentally locked himself in a closet while showing a large mansion. He had to call for help on his phone and the clients found it hilarious.

One estate agent had a client who was very superstitious. The agent showed the client a beautiful old house. But the client refused to buy it because there was a tree in the front yard that he thought was bad luck. The agent tried to convince him but in the end, the client left. Later, the agent found out that the tree was actually a rare and valuable one. He couldn't stop laughing about how the client's superstition made him miss out on a great deal.

Sure. There was an estate agent who accidentally showed a house to the wrong couple. He was so confused when they started asking strange questions about a feature that wasn't in that particular property. He realized his mistake halfway through the tour but managed to turn it into a joke and ended up showing them the right house later.

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.

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.

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.

Well, once I had an agent who showed me a house that was completely misrepresented in the listing. It said it had a renovated kitchen, but when we got there, the cabinets were falling apart and the stove was ancient. It was such a waste of time.

One interesting story is about an agent who had a client who was very picky. The agent showed over 50 houses before finally finding the perfect one. It was a small cottage that the client initially overlooked, but the agent knew it had potential. After some renovations suggested by the agent, the client fell in love with it.

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.
