The fun of showing a property .

[Matthew Paul]

Its always interesting  showing a rental .  I always show up in my work truck  dressed in work clothes .  Its a 2 bed 1 bath on 1/2 acre good neighborhood and schools  .  Had 2 couples show up and 1 single guy  , and a few messages .   First couple asks if I am a private landlord , I tell them I am the maintenance guy . " She says we need to talk to the owner  whats his number "    I tell her "  I speak for the owner , thats my job  ". I start hearing hard luck stories and tell her to stop , here are the requirements and they dont change . They  get pissy and leave . 

The second couple loves the place , and asks if I will build a fence . I tell them there is no need for a fence to keep people out .   " Oh no we have 2 nice dogs "   I tell them , "i guess you didnt read the add where "NO PETS " was on the first line "  .     She says " Oh they are not pets we consider them part of the family "       Sorry   ,  No pets 

The single guy shows up , looks and starts to try to wheel and deal how he could fix up the place , and cut the grass and do landscaping .   I look at him ,  and say you have to cut the grass , and I am the maintenance man , repairs and any improvements are MY job . 

5 Minutes before I am ready to leave I get a text from someone saying they will be there in 20 minutes .  I text back and say the times were between 9 am and 11 am .  Dont bother coming .      Their response was rather vulgar . 

Its always fun .
