Real Deal REInvestor Network

Being in Real Estate, you definitely see a lot of interesting situations and properties. From doing walk through's on properties that were owned by Hoarders to seeing home remodeling projects that are equivalent Tim Allen's work. Last week though this was the first time I have ever encountered anything like this and talk about being in the right place at the right time. ( Or vice versa if they were actually looking for me :)

Well this is how the story goes, a few months back I helped one of my clients find a home for his family to purchase. This purchased happened to be a Short Sale that needed to go Freddie Mac in order to receive approval. When dealing with any government agency, you can bet your bottom dollar that it is not going to be a quick process. Luckily we got approval for this deal early last week, so next step was to schedule a home inspection. This is when things got interesting. Everything was going as it should, but then we heard a knock on the front door. Not thinking anything out of the norm, I figured it was the homeowners that came home early. I went to open the door to find there were two large guys standing there looking like they mean business. They turned out to be Department of Correctional officers and what was more interesting is that they asked for Alexander, which happens to be my first name. The first question I thought of was how did the find me. Just Kidding :) My buyers were right next to me looking at me like they just found out I was a criminal. I replied that my name happened to be Alexander, but I wasn't a known criminal in the State of Wisconsin. Luckily after I explained what I was doing there and that I wasn't the person they were looking for, we all started laughing. It turns out that person hasn't lived in the house for over 6 months, what a coincidence that I happened to be there during the time that the correctional officers came to find their suspect and my first name happened to be the same as his. Crazy! This just shows that Real Estate is never boring!
