Folks…this story is a wild one!

And if you’ve ever sold a house before, we have a feeling this tale is really going to resonate with you…

And probably also creep you out!

A man explained how his house-selling experience went off the rails in a major way, and it’s a good thing his neighbor gave him a heads-up about what was going on.

Get all the details below, and see what you think.

Showing gone wrong.

“I was selling a home several years ago. I had moved a few states away and put my home up for sale.

Got a call from an elderly neighbor the night after a showing. Her home and kitchen window gave then and open view to a carport and the backyard pool area. All of this prior to extensive Ring cameras and things like that.

She was concerned because she watched a woman pull in her car that evening, shut the gate to the carport and started moving items into the empty home.

I called my agent.

This was certainly interesting!

She was excited because an “odd” woman came late to the open house. Stayed for an hour. Said the home was perfect and would be paying cash.

I informed the agent that she was probably mentally ill because she was moving in right now.

Turns out she unlocked doors, windows, and the carport gate to come back and claim her new home.

This agent definitely didn’t do her job.

I had to chew out my agent when it clicked in her head the “buyer” was a nut job, no official offer was made, and she didn’t secure the home properly prior to leaving.

I called the cops.

They found her moving her stuff into the home out of her beat up car. As they were questioning her a locksmith shows up to change the locks and re-key the home per the nut job’s request.

The neighbor watched the whole thing.

Police removed the lady, but not before she tried to make a break for it.

Neighbor got to watch the whole scene unfold from her window and called me laughing as the cops chased her around the pool.

Glad I had good neighbors.”
