Some real estate people are gigantic pains in the patootie.

Apparently, I am responsible for putting a family of six out on the street. A call came to my office about noon on Friday from the buyer's agent (who knew there was one of those) for the property that I had been surveying since 8:00 a.m. demanding that my 'report' be produced by the end of the day or "a family of six will be out on the street". Mrs. Cow somehow managed to hold her tongue despite an overwhelming urge to say bad things. She relayed the message to me. Ten minutes later I was in the office of her Realtor, who I've known for 50 years, and learned he had no idea of such urgency. I politely pointed out that I hadn't noticed any sense of urgency to move out by the sellers when we sat out on their deck sipping iced tea a couple of hours earlier.

The seller's agent, my contact for the job, will be receiving the 'report' later this morning, once I finish up my Beerleg review and finalize the plat and the invoice.

Invoice first, issue your report after the check clears

Ooh, ooh, new information. The crazy real estate salesperson just called to bug me again. Now it is six kids plus the parents, not just a family of six. Found a couple more over the weekend, I guess.

Jeeeeeeeeeez!

Sounds like an ethically challenged individual. The way my luck runs there would be real problems with occupation or conflicting deeds. Then this agent would file a complaint with the BOR because I delayed the closing.

The very sad part is that she didn't learn this from her father or her grandfather. Her grandfather owned that specific real estate firm until selling it shortly prior to his death at about 95. Her father has worked part time as a real estate salesperson for 40 years for the same firm and has a broker's license. He also teaches the basic real estate class required prior to applying to take the State exam. I've been providing services to them and their customers for over 25 years.

I agree that the urgency is probably on her part.
