Random Realtors Describe Their Strangest Experiences While Showing Houses (15 items)

• (#14) They Found Some DIY Electrical Work

  From Redditor /u/BallisticBurrito:

  Went looking at a house with my realtor last year. I was going through the basement and noticed a very large orange extension cable bundled up in the rafters and going up a hole we deduced was the upstairs bathroom. Went looking and found a power strip zip tied to the side of the sink right next to the toilet.
• (#2) Even Realtors Can Be Disgusting

  From Redditor /u/FerociousGiraffe:

  Not a realtor, but once I was having one show me apartments for college. The realtors are even able to show you apartments that are currently occupied, as it is understood by the tenant that the realtor can show during certain hours.

  We walked in to look at one that was occupied and we could hear the shower running, but he said we would look around anyway. There was a picture of the girl that was living there, and the realtor saw it, said, "She's hot," and made a creepy gesture like he was going to go get in the shower with her. She never knew that we were in her place.
• (#3) Must Have Been Some Party

  From a former Redditor:

  I scheduled an early appt one day in a very up scale, trendy area. I knocked on the door and the owner answered. I introduced myself and he had this dumbfounded look on his face like he forgot about our appointment. I told him I had some work to do on the outside of the house and to give me 10 minutes and we could do the walk through. All he said was, "Ughhh, okay." 

  So I finish outside and knock again. The guy let's me in. I'm immediately punched in the face with the stink of sex and at least 12 naked men and women asleep all nude in various stages of undress throughout the house. My face turned beet red and I told the owner I could could come back at a more convenient time. He assured me that it was okay and it was very important that the appraisal be completed today and to proceed.

  I go through the house and do my thing, including taking photos! Although I did shoot around the sex toys and nude extremities. It was the most awkward situation of life. Why didn't he just reschedule!?
• (#7) They Liked Their Toys Toasty

  From Redditor /u/priceguncowboy:

  Going through a recently vacated unit assessing damages and making a punch list for the turnover crew to get the unit ready for the next tenants. We open the warming drawer of the oven and find a dildo. This isn't your ordinary dildo, this thing is about the size of my calf. 
• (#13) They Walked In On A Dog Funeral

  From Redditor /u/imalittlesleastak:

  We were doing the pre-purchase inspection. Noticed a kid in the backyard near some woods kneeling and digging with a shovel. We walked over to say hi and see what was up. He turns and says, "Get the f*ck out of my face." We decide its best to leave him be.

  Turns out the home sale was due to divorce, he was the son of the sellers and had just come to get the last of his things out of the garage, somehow had run over his dog with his Jeep and decided to bury the dead dog in the back yard of the house we were buying. Felt bad for the kid.
• (#10) The Interior Was Interestingly Themed

  From Redditor /u/Jedibob7:

  Eagles. The man had bald eagle paraphernalia in every corner of the condo. There were entire shelving units packed to the brim with eagle statutes and every bit of drapery, blanket, and rug were eagle themed. Not a single American flag to be seen anywhere either.
