Poop Closets and Property Nightmares: True Tales from the Real Estate Trenches
Manage episode 479824280 series 3647726
Ever wondered what real estate professionals talk about when the cameras are off and the drinks are flowing? Welcome to the unfiltered world of property sales after dark. In this hilariously candid episode, veteran agents Kim and Colleen spill the tea on their most shocking, disgusting, and downright terrifying experiences in the field.
From the $600,000 lakefront property where sellers left bags of dog waste in the basement closet to houses that literally smell like death, these stories reveal the stomach-churning realities agents face during property showings. You'll cringe as they describe walking in on naked homeowners, stumbling upon drug users in basements, and accidentally submitting brutally honest feedback to the wrong listing agent. Their tales of snake infestations, aggressive dogs, and potential hauntings will make you appreciate your own home-buying journey – or at least the professionals who guided you through it.
Beyond the laughs, this episode highlights the genuine dangers real estate agents face daily. When Colleen discovered a client's extensive criminal history including sexual assault and home invasion, it underscored why safety protocols are essential in this profession. Bart's legendary story about threatening to throw a difficult client "in the trunk and take him to the Cal-Sag" (a notorious body-dumping location) reveals the creative ways agents have handled troublesome situations before more professional standards evolved.
The spring market madness comes through clearly as both hosts describe working non-stop to accommodate eager buyers in today's low-inventory environment. Despite exhaustion and stress, their passion for helping clients navigate life's biggest purchases remains evident throughout their stories. Whether you're a fellow real estate professional, a curious homebuyer, or someone who appreciates unfiltered workplace stories, this episode offers a uniquely entertaining glimpse behind the property listing curtain.
