If These Walls Could Talk..............

A few years ago, I was representing both the buyer and seller in the sale of a bungalow style home, in my licensed area. The home was a terrific price but needed some cosmetic work in the basement. The buyers had a vision for what it could look like and they had the skills to make their vision come true. As a result, they jumped on the property and the closing proceeded without a hitch.

It was three months after possession that I met one of the buyers during an evening walk around our neighborhood. The buyer informed me that he was enjoying his stay-at-home lifestyle with his new baby boy and that he was ecstatic about how the renovations had turned out. It was at this point in the conversation, however, that he proceeded to tell me that he had found some 'interesting items' in the walls, in the process of renovating. Curious, I prompted him to go into details. He told me that upon "removal of a wall panel that about 75 photos had fallen to the floor, to his shock and amazement." With some amount of horror, he realized that he was peering at a series of explicit photos and that the subjects of the photos were in fact, THE SELLERS!

I can only imagine that I turned 10 shades of red and I think I remember sputtering some explative. I was thankful, however, that my clients had viewed the ordeal with humour and it was with sheepish smiles that I bid him a good evening.

Would love to hear your comments on this one?

Cheers,
