A crazy day in the life of Kelowna real estate agent

I had a busy weekend working with 2 couples looking to buy. One of these couples is buying their second home and had a lot of houses they wanted to see in different Kelowna neighborhoods.  I had it set up to run smoothly from house to house and neighborhood to neighborhood.  The second house we saw was quite amazing. I had a feeling something wasn’t quite right when we drove up. I checked the address… yup, right house.  I knocked on the front door, used the lock box, opened the door and said “hello”.  The sellers answered back that she was in the bathtub and would be right out. She was very gracious but said she didn’t know there was a showing. Another alarm bell is ringing in my head. No worries she said, she’d just head out and leave us to take our time looking around. While we waited for her to vacate, we went into the back yard. Wow would be a good word to describe it and again I’m thinking something isn’t right. When we started looking through the house I know for sure that something was wrong. The buyers are falling in love  and I’m sure it’s not the right house. Sure enough, I spy the feature sheets and the price listed is $100,000 more than their budget allows. How did this happen? I went outside again to check the address and realized that the address of this house and the one 2 doors down that we were supposed to be in had the same numbers just in a slightly different order. Groan… had to go back and tell them that this wasn’t actually the house of their dreams but a mistake on my part and I didn’t real the address correctly.  They were very good sports about it and we all had a chuckle.  When I called the listing realtor later to explain the situation, she too had a good sense of humor. I hope the sellers see it that way too!

This house was truly amazing and one-of-a-kind… check it out!

Talk to you soon…
