It's time for another chapter of Adventures in Home Showings.  My first post, Adventures in Home Showings  was my beginning of looking at houses in and around the Chester County, Pennsylvania area.

These were from a little while ago, my client had the pictures in her camera :)  Both incidents happened the SAME DAY with the same clients.

It's a little hard to make out, but this stone is in the bed between the house and garage.

Bless her! And I'm sure the owners have some cherished memories. I'm not so sure however, that this is good staging advice.  My clients were affected. "Do the remains stay?"

The Mom in me (and animal lover) can't be stopped. We hit (NO, bad word usage!) came across a Road Block. The next house on the list there was a black fluff ball walking in the very middle of the road. "I hope you don't mind if I stop", I tell my Buyers.  Thankfully Samsun had a tag with his name and phone number. I pick him up, much to his dismay (he was heavy too!) and dial.

"Hello?"
"Hi. This is Kim with RE/MAX Main Line, I have Samsun, he was walking down the middle of Carol Lane."
"Oh. It is. Hold on let me look"  It was a teenager on the phone, guess he didn't get the fact that I wouldn't know he has a dog name Samsun?
He came back to the phone, "Yeah. She's missing."
"Where do you live? I am on Carol Lane"
"Oh. We live on Carol Lane. In a house on the corner"

Ok. Samsun had just begun his journey, he wasn't too far and I walked him to his house.

Another day in the life of Kim Wood, as a Buyer Agent showing homes in Malvern, PA. It breaks up the day a bit, that's for sure!  If you are looking for a home, and you'd like to have fun while doing it - call me!

I know we could all write a book about Adventures in Home Showings.... but this has been a very interesting couple of weeks....

Last week:  Saw Infomercial headquarters.  This house had every product of the infomercials out there...my client was first to notice.

Saturday: Getting stuck in the mud with clients was quite the adventure after a rainy couple of days and an unpaved drive.

Tuesday:  Picture this... paint smell in basement of "older" home.....  walls don't appear to be recently painted.... floor doesn't appear to be recently painted... WHAT??? They spray painted in Black the entire ceiling of unfinished basement - sprayed wires, duct work, electric junction boxes, the whole works! 

Today:  Notable water in basement along a part of a wall.....  a toy football clogging the downspout/drain of the roof where water is pooled above the basement.  (I tried, couldn't reach the football, but I'll call the listing agent!)

The stories never end, do they? You just keep adding to the book, I suppose..... its an adventure out there!
