Most Memorable First Impressions

[Sandy Spence]

What's the most memorable first impression an applicant or tenant ever made on you? I have an open rental so I'm having some amazing conversations to say the least. One today called and asked me how many outlets I had in the basement, I told him I wasn't quite sure (because I never actually counted) but could follow up with him and asked if there was a particular concern. He said he was a uh, botanist and needed lights plugged in, in the basement. Um.... Botanist? Basement? Lights? I wanted to ask him if his name was Walter White (bonus points if you get the reference). Whats you most memorable?

An applicant applied for my home and for their employment listed Mortician.  I said wow, where is your funeral home, and they said it will be in the basement.

Had an applicant apply for our home and as she was talking to me a roach crawled out of her sleeve.

Had a house for rent at $750.00 a month.  Gal applies for the home and lists her income as $500.00 a month. 

While doing an open house two large men tried to rob me, luckily people started coming into the home for the open house and the "creeps" ran away.

Had an applicant's mother co-sign for a house for her daughter.  I gave her a pen to fill out the application form and she refused to give me back the pen. 

Just some of my first impressions.
