Near Whiplash Selling Houses! True Story....

Near Whiplash Selling Houses! True Story... I was out showing some new clients homes in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. We had a marathon lined up of about 12 homes. We were shopping from first thing in the morning, 9 am until the sunset almost. We were in a neighborhood that had two houses lined up that we were to see both. So, we wheel into our first showing and after casually browsing through it with my newly found clients..we cross the street to see the second.

We finish up with neither delivering warm fuzzies, that's ok, we have plenty more to see! We pile into my SUV, every agent has to have one... (o: Or so I thought when entering real estate sales. Anyway, I put it in gear and start backing out the drive and I felt my left rear tire drop off the concrete drive. Oh well, I'm thinking, I have an SUV the ditch is not that deep... what do I do...I keep backing up. About 2 seconds later we come to an immediate halt, there we are all doing the head-bob; my tire had caught the drain guard at the edge of the drive! We all take a second, recompose, look around and burst into laughter! Fortunately, we were only doing about 2 miles an hour. No harm done, except for my poor mudflap, it was separated in the episode. I through it in the back and off we went!

I know we all have events like this and get to laugh at ourself mostly. They were great, of course didn't let me forget that for a while and still bring it up when we talk! Years later. (o: Good news is they did buy a house that day! We had a light heart and were on a mission and at the end of the day we survived Jerry's off-road driving and bought a home!
