Boom, crash the sound of my...door.

So as most of us know, my house is for sale. Oh what fun. But really though...it is fun. Would you believe that my house has been spotless for 2 straight weeks? Ah-mazing! I kind of love it. We've had about 10 showings now but no offers yet...still waiting for the right buyer to come along. I will post some pics of the house at some point, but that is not what this post is about. So here's the story...
The other day we had 2 showings scheduled for the same day...one at 11 and one at 12:30. So we decided to pack a lunch and go hang out at the park for a couple of hours. Fun right? Yes, it was fun. So Audri, Lydia and I went to the park. Good times were had by all and then at about 12:50 I got a phone call from my real estate agent. She said she had just been on the phone with an agent who was at the house and he had called to make her aware of a little problem with the house. At this point I started imagining a burst pipe flooding the house, so I was happy when she told me that one of the panes on our back door was broken. Whew! Just a broken window pane...curious since it had been fine when we left, but not that big of deal, right? Well here is what greeted me when I got home:


Fun, right? Well The best part is that when my agent called the first agent to find out what happened he pretended he didn't know anything about it! And my agent came over and we investigated and found out what had happened...


I was the one who finally figured it out… I was feeling a little bit like Veronica Mars... Glass door on a windy day… Meet the light fixture! Yes that is what broke it! Luckily we got it fixed that night and even more luckily the dishonest agent called my agent back and finally confessed that one of his clients had helped break it somehow! (He claims a 4 year old was the last one thru the door when they came inside and he didn't shut it all the way. Wind. Crash. You get the idea). His conscience must have gotten the better of him...And so he paid for it! yeah. That is all.

  1. Ugh I hated having my house for sale. I'm sure yours will go fast though. Coming home to someone breaking or stealing something when it's for sale is the worst! I'm glad they fessed up and paid for it! We bought a couple cheap cameras and had them up when people came over just to give them something to keep them honest. They were only turned on a couple of times when we were having back to back showings so we knew when people were gone and could come home. We use them now to check on the kids when they are playing in the family room.

  2. Sad! Your house is being sold! I didn't know it was on the market already. That's super sad about your door. I'm glad you didn't have to pay for it. I got on Zillow to find your house. You should get that app and look across the way at some of those houses. There is one for 6.4M owned by a professional baseball player. It's intense. Anyway, I hope you sell your house soon. Good thing we painted!

  5. I also dig the title of this post. Hilarious. Also your house is nice. :) Jules showed me on Zillow. Sad that I will likely never get to see it in real life. Maybe your new house?...
