We were showing some extremely expensive houses here, right on the same street of the governors mansion to a very, very wealthy gay couple.
This was a showing where the listing agent wanted to be there. So he meets us there and is like "OKtheownerisherehewillansweranyquestionsyoumighth avegottago!" and then raced out the door. So we are just standing their looking kind of unnerved and proceeded to walk around the house.
So me, being the nosy person I am walk over to one of the bookshelves in the den, because I am always interested in what people are reading, and every single book is either by Anne Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, etc, ad infinitum."
So then the owner comes in, and immediately the clients are like "Hi!" and introduce themselves. He just kind of stared and you could see the conflict on his face about how he wanted to tell them to get out, but really wanted to sell the house.

This is totally not funny but the most odd thing I've ever heard. Another agent in my office was showing a property to a "buyer couple" when the wife died in the upstairs hallway. I can't say I personally have anything that tops this story!

I have a vague memory of a story from another agent ...something to do with a buyer having to test out the shower before he would make an offer on the home! Can you imagine...
I was showing a young couple a home, the owner is home w her two friendly dogs, we go upstairs and the dogs follow us and decided to show us - just whose home this one....
One of the dogs proceeded to take a big old dump on the rug LOL!!!!!!!!!!
ya gotta laugh..... the woman said, is that a sign? I said yeah, let's go.....
I scheduled a showing with an agent who didn't call her client. We ring the doorbell, no response. Get the key, open the door, which leads directly into the livingroom.... where the owners were enjoying a little afternoon delight, if you know what I mean.
Another time, different clients... showing a property when the husband had to "test the plumbing". 20 minutes later he comes out apologizing as he clogged the comode. Slightly awkward.
I knocked on a door once and no one came to the door. Knocked again, still no one. Unlocked door with key from lockbox and started the showing. Laughing and joking around, we made out way to the second floor. Got up to 2nd floor and heard a noise. My client and I froze. I said "SSh!! Listen!!! Did you hear that?!" She whispers "What was that?!" I say "Ssh! Listen!!" We stand there frozen! Suddenly we hear the sound of boxes (or something) being tossed around in the attic, like someone was up there! I turned to my client and said "Crap! I think someone's in the house, let's get out of here!" We bolt down the stairs the quiestest and fastest running "tiptoe" you've ever seen! Almost at the bottom of the stairs I twist my ankle but keep running! We get outside and wondered.... was it a person? Or was it something else? A ghost in the attic? (lol) Lord knows, but i still remember this being the only time i ever entered in to someone's house and not realizing someone (or something) was inside, and oanick to run out! Funny thing is, we could have just yelled "hello?? Is someone up there??" and all would have probably been fine. The funny part is that I ran out of the house when I could have finished the showing!
I'll try to think of more funnies.... I know I have some "doozies"!
