In a previous thread...I mentioned about my suprabox glued to something pretty strong. I decided to go over the property to install a new one, and since we are closing tomorrow...did my last inspection.

WOW!!! walk into the property and I see a myriad of thing laying on the floor, kitchen counters, and bathrooms! I said what the heck??? no drifter is willing to paint for a free night, nor a prowler will be that kind and do chores around the house. The stupid buyer got hold of the key somehow and decided to prepare the unit for the new renter.

I called the buyer's agent immediately to tell her the situation and she candidly said "I told buyer not to do that" Man, that got me furious and I am about to go to the local board and complaint.

Can't believe the buyer won't wait a couple of days to close escrow and then do whatever. Grrrrrr

Hmmmm...do you think maybe the buyer's agent......Nawwwwwwww..

Hey- at least it sounds like they've got loan commitment! (They do, don't they?LOL!)

I had a buyer's agent actually help a buyer move into one of my listings a week before closing. Used his truck and everything.

I reported such an instance to my AM. I was told to call the police and report trespassing on the property unless they got the stuff out immediately. I called the buyer's agent and she denied it. I told I'd been inside the home and she was liable to be reported by the asset management company for ethics violations. Last I heard from her broker was that she'd been hospitalized with hyperventilation after I'd torn her a new one.

Buyer's agent just call me as I finished posting this..."We had wired the money to escrow! When I get the keys?" Stupiiiiiiidddd

I had a buyer completely knock down a house prior to closing. He was buying the property for the land since the house was in such bad shape. I drove out to get my sign the day before closing and there was no house......threw me for a loop that is for sure. At least he was paying cash so I didn't worry TOO much.

This is a Cash deal, but still that's not legal to do. Specially, here in California, you get sued for nothing.

I had a buyer mysteriously get in and paint the interior and install appliances a week before close.

His loan ended up not funding because he bought a boat while in escrow.

This was a human owned house, my sellers were delighted We ended up selling it for more! (thanks dumb Cal Poly student!)

That happened to me before too... buyer said that their agent "gave" them the keys. Of course the other agent denied it. It all worked out but I was beyond mad.

I had a buyer go in and paint before closing. She was also taking a boat out onto the pond with her son as well. The selling agent admitted she gave her the keybox code because she was getting a plumbing estimate. Anyway, now I have the selling agent sign something saying they will not give out the lockbox code. Do you think it helps??? NOPE!

I went to go get my lockbox and sign from a listing since we were closing the next day. I went in and there was all new hardwood floors, ceramic tile in the bathrooms and kitchen, fresh paint on all the walls and when I went into the garage there was a brand new riding lawn mower and boxes of new appliances. Mind you I had just been there 4 days prior and none of this stuff had been done. I had to make a police report and the AM said if it didn't close they were going to press charges. You talk about tension. You could of cut it with a knife at closing especially when the wire hadn't come in yet. The buyer's boyfriend who did all this work was sweating bullets. It didn't fund until 4:45 that afternoon. The police officer who took the report said he would buy the house for cash if it didn't go through. I hate when people think they can do whatever they want.

Back in ’02 we had a listing owned by a gentleman with a mid-eastern name. He was born and raised here in Central Virginia.

Unbelievably, at the final walk-thru the buyers' agent left the young buyer couple at the house and asked them to lock up when they were done. The couple decided to go through some of our clients boxed belongings and found two pistols and some “anti-US propaganda.”

They decided to tell their real estate attorney who advised them to call the FBI and report a suspected terrorist. They did.

The FBI called us and wanted access to the house. Long story short the FBI never went in. When they bothered to call the sheriff, they found out the seller was not only a life long resident but also a friend of the sheriff. The sheriff knew about the pistols because he taught the seller how to use them. And the anti-US propaganda……. Democratic party material.

Idiots! Needless to say closing was interesting after the delay for the “investigation.”

I had an accepted purchase offer on a house...seller had denied early occupancy. Seller went to the home to perform lawn care...the buyer was all moved in and settled.

Naturally, seller was fuming, I didn't know anything about it, selling agent denied everything, broker denied everything, seller was positive somebody lied. She may have been right, but it wasn't me.

I had a buyer that called in from a sign. I was heading that way anyways, he wanted to write a contract. I talked to him for a few, he offered me 30K for it. I told him we would have to sign a contract and what was needed to submit the offer that was going nowhere.

He showed up the next day in my office with 30K cash??? We had an agreement, he bought the house. I explained to him to take the money it dont work that way. He had already started work on the property after I agreed to meet with him.

Sometimes the buyer is just crazy!
