HEY! GIVE ME BACK MY SIGNS!

As Realtors we run into some strange situations during our daily tasks. Well this last Sunday was an example of this.

Sunday I was getting ready to do an open house. This is one of the ways we find clients to meet and help find homes. I got up early to put out my open home signs and headed off to get a cup of coffee. On my way back to the home I noticed that one of the signs I put up was gone. As I travelled the neighborhood I noticed other signs are gone. Then I came upon a van with balloons inside of it. Yep, this is the van that has taken my signs which had balloons attached to it.

I parked my car and walk up to the van and it sped off before I could get to the drivers window. I hopped into my car and followed him. Finally he pulled over and got out of the car and started screaming at me. I demanded and got my signs back.

Turns out he was the owner of the home before the bank foreclosed on him and was angry that we were trying to find a buyer for it.

This was something they didn't prepare me for in Real Estate school.
