Showing Agent complained she could not get to the house because the fire trucks were in the way


Here is an interesting story..... Life is never dull here in the Real Estate World!


Last week I was at Taco Bell for Dinner when my phone rang. The caller said, IS THIS THE SHORT SALE EXPERT? I have blogged here on Active Rain about short sales many times. This caller needed help. I listed his house for sale the following morning. This was Friday, less than a week ago.


By Monday, we had three showings scheculed for our short sale. When it came time for the first showing, I received a call from my seller. He said he had just called the fire company, and then he called me to cancel the showing, as his house was on fire.


I called the agent at 3:30, the time of the showing. She said they were just arriving, and were going to show the property anyway. I cautioned, that the house was on fire, and perhaps it was not a good idea. She called a couple hours later to report she could not get within five hundred feet of the house because there were too many fire trucks blocking the road. When will the home be available again for a showing?


Amazing. We cancelled all the showings for a short while, while the insurance company assesses the damage.


Life is never dull!
