The Call the Realtor NEVER Wants to Get . . .
January 15th, 2010 . by Jon ModeneNo – it’s not “come remove your sign”.
It’s not “we sold it ourselves just before we called you”.
It’s not “don’t worry – you won’t have to show me any more homes . . . I bought one”!
(N.B. —- I have had those calls.)
No.
The call you do not want to get is “you better get over to your listing – it’s on fire.”
Which is the call I got today.
On one of my Perrysburg listings.
Lovely.
But . . . this being Perrysburg – with an excellent fire department . . . an entire BATTALION of fire trucks, pumper trucks, ladder trucks, firemen, assistant fire chiefs, and real fire chiefs (whose house I had sold them many a moon ago . . . ) and police cars was at the listing in about 90 seconds.
The damage – not as bad as I had feared. But bad enough.
And if it was not in Perrysburg . . . let’s just say the end result might have been hotter.

The best news?
The horrible orange colored awnings are no longer going to deter any buyers . . . .
